Principal Resident Commissioner of Himachal Pradesh, Ajay Yadav, today inaugurated the 15-stall Himachal Pradesh Pavilion at the India International Trade Fair (IITF) 2026 at Bharat Mandapam here. The pavilion spotlights the state’s cultural heritage, traditional craftsmanship, and indigenous goods, with a special focus on handloom, handicrafts, and products made by Self-Help Groups (SHGs).
Key state bodies and enterprises—including Bhuttico Kullu, HP Handloom and Handicrafts, Nurpur Silk Mills, and HIM IRA—are participating alongside private ventures like Hilly Basket and Gulab Shawls Industry. From signature silks and traditional weaves to eco-friendly, utility-based items and SHG-crafted goods, the stalls showcase diverse offerings from across the state.
Speaking at the event, Yadav noted that artisans and entrepreneurs from nearly every district have come together, drawing strong visitor interest for their natural and sustainable products. He added that the platform connects traditional Himachali producers with wider national and international markets, aiming to boost rural entrepreneurship, generate sustainable livelihoods, and preserve the state’s distinct cultural identity.
