First Hunar Haat Organised with 30% Toys Stall After Lockdown

Naqvi said the next “Hunar Haat” will be organized at Prayagraj from October 9 to 18 after COVID 19 Lockdown.

Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Tuesday said that the country’s toy industry got a tremendous boost after the Prime Minister appeal to be `Vocal for Local Toys’.

The Union Minister said Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s appeal to encourage local products will help the Indian toy industry to again get its dominance in the toy market.

Union Minister Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi also announced that 30 percent stalls would be for artisans who prepare indigenous toys and that they would also be extended help through various institutions.

“Every corner of the country has a traditional and ancestral legacy of indigenous toys. This legacy, which was on the verge of extinction, has got a boon after Prime Minister Narendra Modi pitched for Swadeshi Toys. The Indian toy industry has got a tremendous boost after PM Modi advocated to get “Vocal for Local Toys,” Minister said.
