BHOPAL HAAT
Bhopal Haat, a marketing place for rural products, has become a happy hunting ground. Bhopal Haat was created two years back under a central government scheme with an investment of Rs 3.20 crore to market rural products manufactured by self-help groups (SHGs).
After looking at the super success of Delhi Haat, Madhya Pradesh is putting all efforts to make Bhopal Haat a shopper’s paradise, by showcasing best handicraft and handloom products made by local artisans.
The State is famous for its terracotta items, silver jewellary, colourful rugs, dolls and garments made from cotton and silk. Along with that leather, furniture, marble products and other decorative items are also renowned nationwide. Apart from local craftsmen, items produced by Self Help Groups(SHGs), of other states like Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat and Orissa are also ready to display their attractive handmade artifacts here. Jharcraft, Jharkhand Government’s initiative for promoting its handicraft items, is planning to send exclusive silk sarees and terracotta artifacts to Bhopal Haat, to get new sale orders from visitors.
The aim of Bhopal Haat is to encourage and provide the necessary help to craftsmen in marketing their products.
