Imphal, May 16 2016:
Manipur Handloom Mark which would be
the common mark for all handloom products of the State was
released at Manipur Press Club today.
Although there is a common mark for all handloom prod-
ucts of the country, there was no separate mark for Manipur.
Even though handloom products of Manipur are famous at
the National and international level, there was no mark which
would signify that the handloom products originated from
Manipur.
The mark released today would be embossed/attached to all
handloom products of the State.
The function was jointly organised by the Handloom Pro-
motion Council Manipur, Manipur Apex Handloom Weavers
and Handicrafts Artisans Cooperative Society Limited, Imphal.
