Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday said efforts are being made to provide an online delivery platform to street food vendors on the lines of big restaurants while interacting with beneficiaries of PM SVANidhi scheme. Modi also urged the street vendors to adopt the digital payment system on a large scale. Meanwhile, several Bollywood actors and celebrities including Ajay Devgan, Varun Dhawan, Sonu Sood, Kailash Kher, Gobind Namdev, Mary Kom and cricket commentator Sushil Doshi have appreciated PM Modi’s initiative under the scheme to make street vendors self-reliant.

He also suggested him ways to improve his vegetable business.
