Entrepreneurs from different states have set up about 300 stalls in the fair that will be on till October 18.

Speaking on the occasion, CM Soren said, “Let us create an environment where people come forward to help the helpless, poor and needy. I convey my best wishes for expanding the circle of social concern of JIOWA. Helping the needy resides in the culture and civilisation of our country.”

He also said that helping the needy and helpless people is a factor in the civilization and culture of our country. How various organisations came out to help people across the country during the COVID-19 global pandemic, has to be praised.
