Prime Minister Narendra Modi visited Hunar Haat in
New Delhi on Wednesday.
He visited the stalls of master artisans, craftsmen
and culinary experts from across the country participating in Hunar Haat.
More than 250 such stalls have been set up at India
Gate lawns. Also, more than 50 percent of the artisans participating were
women.
The Prime Minister interacted with the
participating artisans at the Haat and also witnessed the cultural programs.
“Hunar Haat” reflects the government's commitment
to providing employment opportunities as well as preserving and promoting
India’s indigenous traditional legacy, several of which are on the verge of
extinction.
The theme of this year’s Hunar Haat is ‘Kaushal ko
Kaam’. About 3 lakh master artisans, craftsmen & culinary experts have been
provided employment and employment opportunities through Hunar Haat in the last
3 years.
These beneficiaries include a large number of women
artisans.
