The ongoing handloom expo at Parade Ground here is getting a very good response with organisers claiming that goods worth Rs 2.5 crore have been sold during this week.
The expo, organised jointly by Uttarakhand Handloom and Handicraft Development Council and Directorate of Industries and Development Commissioner (Handloom), Government of India, would end on January 10, 2019.
Addressing the media persons in Dehradun on Saturday, Industries director Sudhir Chandra Nautiyal expressed hope that in view of the overwhelming public response it is expected that the total sale during the expo would cross Rs 6 crore mark. He further informed that one of the key features of the meet would be a ‘Buyers Sellers Meet’ which would be organised from January 4 to 6 during which the specialists representing IKR, Fab India and EPHC would inform artisans of Chamoli, Pithoragargh and Udham Singh Nagar districts about how to model their product and design them to attract customers.
