Speaking on the occasion, E Jeeten shared that Melas have been conducted under the aegis of Ministry of Textiles from time-to-time to support local weavers & artisans and provide a marketing platform.

Highlighting the importance of organising such Melas to provide an opportunity to sell local handloom & handicraft products, he asserted that the Mela experienced a significant drop in the number of visitors this year due to the present unrest.
