New Delhi: On the first day of the 40th edition of India International Trade Fair (IITF) at Pragati Maidan, exhibitors from across states and a few countries saw a gradual influx of visitors.
However, due to the pandemic, only nine countries turned up against the 23 participants in 2020. For the exhibitors from Afghanistan, Bahrain, Bangladesh, Iran, Nepal, Tunisia, Sri Lanka, Turkey and UAE, the event is of a major significance as it is being held after a one-year gap.
The key highlight was the participation of artisans at the Bihar stall, the event partner state, and at SARAS 2021 being organised by NIRD and Panchayati Raj. ITPO, the event’s organising agency, claimed that the fair would see the participation of over 1,500 artisans and 130 self-help groups (SHG) in sync with its theme “Atmanirbhar Bharat”.
Artisans and SHGs from across 28 states displayed their items at the SARAS mela. Silk and cotton sarees from Odisha, Bihar and Chhattisgarh, bedsheets from Uttar Pradesh, Kantha sarees from West Bengal and bamboo art and water hyacinth products from Assam were displayed there by MSMEs.
