The Ministry of Textiles
will build a "Handicrafts Bhavan" in the State Emporia
Complex at Baba Kharak Singh Marg in the Capital. The foundation
stone for the seven-storeyed building of which two floors will
be in the basement, will be laid by the Union Textile Minister,
Shri Kashiram Rana, on Wednesday. Bhoomi Pujan for the building
will be done by Shri Ananth Kumar, Minister for Urban Development
and Poverty Alleviation and the Chief Guest will be Shri Madan
Lal Khurana, MP.
The newly formed
States which do not have any emporium in the Capital will be provided
space in the "Handicrafts Bhavan" to house their showrooms
for marketing their branded handicrafts products. The complex
will also serve as a window to the craftsmen to popularise and
sell their handicraft products in the Capital either directly
by participating in live craft skill demonstration programmes
or through the emporia.
