The ten-day long India International Mega Trade Fair, unveiled by Chief Minister Hemant Soren at State capital’s Morhabadi ground on Friday, appears to be promoting the trade in Jharkhand.
Corroborating the fact, Federation of Jharkhand Chamber of Commerce and Industries (FJCCI) president Bikash Kumar Singh said, “The interaction of local traders with the foreign traders will help in gaining knowledge about the new products. Also, it will motivate our business community on how to develop its profession.”
As many as nine pavilions with 564 stalls including State Government departments, international, Home Décor and Home Décor are being showcased here. State Industries department has put up around 17 stalls while Bangladesh, with around 30 stalls, owns the maximum stalls among the foreign countries .
Also, Singh said that by Sunday the fair will take a full fledged look. Bangladesh traders who had been participating in this particular fair trend for past many years said, “Similar fair was organised in Kathmandu from March 6 to March 11. The response of Nepal residents was comparatively more in Kathmandu than the Indians witnessing the last such fairs at Kolkata.”
