‘Punjab Pavilion’, showcasing the state’s culture, and heritage, and displaying the industrial, agricultural, and handicrafts as well as products of various departments of the State is the main attraction for visitors during the ongoing Indian International Trade Fair (IITF) at New Delhi’s Pragati Maidan.
The theme of this year’s IITF’s 41st edition, organized from November 14 to 27, is Vocal for Local, Local to Global, and the Punjab Government has also geared its theme along the same lines.
Based on this Central Government concept, all the states are showcasing their progressive strides in various fields. Foreign countries are also participating in the IITF.
Punjab Pavilion Administrator JS Bhatia and Deputy Administrator Gurpreet Singh revealed that various government departments and institutions, including Markfed, Verka, PSIEC-Invest Punjab, Punjab Tourism, Punjab Agriculture University (PAU)-Ludhiana, Department of Science, Technology and Environment; and Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB) have set up their stalls to display their products and to apprise visitors about the initiatives of the State Government.
The daily performances of Bhangra artists are also an attraction for the visitors, said the duo, adding that the State Cultural Day will be celebrated on November 25.
