Developing countries like India with flooded populations provide a very limited amount of employment avenues in organized sector that needs highly skilled individuals. So the extended need of employment remains unmet which insists the majority of unskilled and illiterate population to dig the opportunities available in unorganized sector. Vegetable vending on being an unorganized sector work provides opportunities for unskilled people to get engaged with very low level of initial investment but in absence of any policy or rule at ground level the situation of vendors remains abysmal. The paper intends to ascertain the problems, gender representation, socio-economic status, literacy level and other issues encountered by vegetable vendors in Chhatarpur district of Madhya Pradesh. Data has been collected from three different vegetable markets of Chhatarpur. Study infers that vendors have multiple challenges and impediments which forced them to live a miserable life. Appropriate policies, social security schemes, permanent place of selling and curbing on goons at ground level can have positive impact on the lives of vegetable vendors and their family members.
