Great to see artisans from all states and UTs. Hope the logistics and stay for them are properly managed. Dilli Haat is the perfect venue for this. "Vishwakarma Ka Abhiyaan" – love the theme! 🇮🇳
While I appreciate the effort, I hope this isn't just another photo-op event. The real test is whether these artisans see sustained orders and income after the haat closes. The scheme needs follow-through.
Inviting foreign missions is a smart move. Our handicrafts have huge export potential. This can put Indian karigars on the global map. Jai Ho to all the Vishwakarmas of India!
Perfect timing for Republic Day tourists! The cultural experiences and live demonstrations will be amazing for kids to see. We must support our heritage. Booking my tickets online already!
As someone who collects traditional crafts, this is a dream event. Hope to find some unique pieces from the Northeast and Kashmir. The 10 AM to 10 PM timing is very convenient.
