The 10-day craft bazaar, organised by Manipur Handloom and Handicrafts Development Corporation (MHHDC), began at the Old Children’s Park here today. More than 150 participants from all across the country have put up their stalls at the fair.
Ms Namrata Thapa, director, DHH, inaugurated the fair today. “The objective of the craft bazaar is to provide direct marketing outlets to the participating crafts persons living in far-flung, remote and hilly areas, thereby eliminating the role of middlemen,” she said. “Handicrafts is an important sector. It plays a very significant role in the country’s economy, besides providing employment to a large number of crafts persons in rural and urban areas and generating substantial foreign exchange”, Ms Thapa, said.
Managing director of MHHDC, Mr W Nilmani Singh, said craft bazaar is a national handicrafts expo.
