The Indo-western dress has also been aesthetically presented, making the Khadi collection at the Jharkhand Pavilion the cynosure of all eyes.
Jharkhand is a partner state in the IITF at Pragati Maidan.
Apart from 29 Indian states and union territories, several countries like Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Bahrain, Belarus, Iran, Nepal, Thailand, Turkey, UAE, Vietnam, China, Tunisia, Lebanon and Turkey participated in the trade fair.
Jharkhand Khadi stall representative Sushant says, “Our khadi stall is drawing huge crowds, reflecting interest in khadi, and leading to an impressive growth in the sale of khadi products at Jharkhand Pavilion this year.”
Apart from handmade products, Jharkhand’s exhibition of organic products, which also offers crucial information related to organic farming, is also attracting visitors.
People visiting the Organic Farming Authority of Jharkhand (OFAJ) stall explore opportunities in the organic sector in Jharkhand, a representative at the stall said.
Jharkhand – the land of forests is aptly represented through a beautifully decorated Department of Forest stall and is in popular demand for honey from the state. The sweetness of the honey is compelling visitors to make a beeline in front of the Forest stall.
