About Delhi's Street Food Festival
As per a report on Utsav, a website by the Ministry of Tourism, the focus of the National Street Food Festival is to bring different street food delicacies across the country in one place. "It will help in reconnecting people with their cultural past along with an increased focus on the diversity of cultures. The festival also seeks to help and revive the financial situation of street vendors who faced a lot of problems in the CVOID period. It would bring them back the lost exposure and assist in creating good revenue during these 3 days."
National Association of Street Vendors of India (NASVI), in the past, organised the Street Food Festival with the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) for the 2019 Festival in association with Eat Right Mela.
