What will be exhibited?

He said artisans can exhibit textiles and handloom, metal crafts, jewellery, organic food and paintings in the meal.

The officer also urged individuals belonging to the scheduled tribe, SHGs, societies, and farmer producer organisations to come up with sufficient samples of their products so that the selection committee can select the items/products and bring them within the ambit of the Supply Chain of Tribes India.
