Mohammed Bilal Khatri, artisan told Free Press, that this is fifth year of the Bagh expo. Many artisans and craftsperson on failing to get space to showcase their products at Lokrang had to leave disappointed but with the launch of Bagh Mahotsav, things have changed for a good.
Disheartened artisan had even decided to switch profession for bread and butter as they failed to get space to showcase their work at prominent platform like Lokrang, informed Khatri. They took loan to come up with their products but couldn’t get anything in return as they failed to get spot at Lokrang to showcase their work to buyers, said Khatri.
“Then my father Noor Mohammed Khatri took up the matter of the distressed artisans to former MD, Hastshilp Vikas Nigam, Veera Rana and even gave a proposal for setting up an exclusive expo. The officer liked the idea and she ordered to hold the fest as soon as possible. The expo has proved a big platform for the artisans,” said Khatri.
“We are getting good response from visitors even better than the Lokrang. This year, the sale in Lokrang was very down. In the expo, we have set the targeted if Rs 15 lakh, and till now we have made sale of Rs 10 lakh and still one day is still left.Khatri has showcased sari, suits, jackets and bed sheets in Bagh print. “The demand of bed sheets is more. We had stock of 450 of which only 80 pieces are left,” he informed.
