While inaugurating the India Expo Centre & Mart in Greater Noida today, the Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh said the international facility should mark an important milestone in the rejuvenation of our textile, garments, handlooms and handicrafts industry. Our textile industry is capable of regaining its glorious position as one of the world's most creative and competitive industries.
He pointed out that in this age of environment sensitivity and mass manufacture, a high premium is being placed on handicraft products. The wares produced by our artisans are seen as unique, exclusive and environment friendly.
The Prime Minister hoped that apart from showcasing our textiles, garments and handicrafts, this Expo Centre will emerge as an exhibition centre for other Indian manufactures as well. The success of our auto expo, reflecting the emergence of a globally competitive automobile and components industry, shows that such expositions can help strengthen the “Made in India” label. He was also happy to learn that this project has been completed within the specified target date.
Also speaking on the occasion, the Union Textiles Minister, Shri Shakersinh Vaghela said a dream of the handicrafts sector nurtured over the last few years, has now become a reality & will boost international marketing of handicrafts. It is a great achievement on the part of the India Exposition Mart to complete this prestigious project within a record time period of less than 3 years.
