#HumansOfDemonetisedIndia: In demonetised India, when people of the unorganised sector are fast losing jobes, they are finding inventive ways of surviving. A man in Trivandrum has become a hawker of old notes as his business of selling chappals and shoes on the street failed. He says “This is my new business. I’ve become a hawker of old notes. I have to support my family. When government banned notes, we have to change too. How will I change these notes? I’m sure government will change it.”

It is pathetic that the people are losing their jobs and finding difficulty in surviving . The various ways of alternative jobs are also difficult to find. One such job is hawker of old notes. With currency ban, he has found some ‘ straw’ to cling on to
