Andhra News | November 25, 2011 - New Delhi
The ongoing India International Trade Fair (IITF) 2011 in New Delhi provides a global platform for craftsmen and entrepreneurs from different states of the country. Many artisans from the northeast are using the opportunity to expand their market. Exhibitors from Tripura, Manipur, Assam, Meghalaya and Nagaland are taking part in the fair.
In the Manipur pavilion 32 units are displaying a variety of products like handloom, artificial jewellery, decorative items, paintings, cultural artifacts and other indigenous food items. "We have modified our products like bringing traditional designs on the jackets. Our aim is to bring the culture of Manipur into commodities that are readily marketable," Serong Iping, an exhibitor from that state said.
Now here we bring artisans from all the districts of Manipur and try to give an exposure to our craftsmen so that they get new design and new pricing and a global platform," said Apam Raguii, nodal officer, Manipur Pavilion. The fair also helps the visitors get to know more about the culture, economy and people of the northeastern states.
"Manipur and other northeast states are known as the corridors to the east, and it is through these states we can get to the Southeast Asian countries like Myanmar, China and others," said Ashwini Garg, a visitor.
