Throwing light on the India Carpet Expo being organised for the last four years, the CM said that the program had taken the country forward by inviting foreign buyers to facilitate the export of handmade carpets, further stating that more than 88 countries were expected to attend the event this year.

While I appreciate the focus on traditional enterprises, I wish there was more transparency about how much funding actually reaches the grassroots artisans. Many small weavers still struggle with basic infrastructure.

Interesting to see how India is positioning its traditional industries in global markets. The focus on FTAs to counter US tariffs shows strategic economic thinking.
