Trade Fair 2021 Highlights : Bihar Pavilion grabbed Gold medal to Promotion of Assam tea by a Prominent Minister
The India International Trade Fair (IITF) was held at Pragati Maidan in New Delhi. The event started on November 14 and concluded on November 27. This year Trade fair 2021 promoted the theme ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’, the vision of new India.’ The idea behind the theme is to focus on the country’s economic export potential, infrastructure, supply chain, demand, and vibrant demography.
After a gap of one year, IITF 2021 confidently made a comeback since the covid-19 pandemic. Trade Fair is an excellent place for Indian and international entrepreneurs to exhibit their products, services, and brand. On the other hand, these marts also work as a one-stop destination for those who wish to buy things from various corners of India as well as abroad.
