Several dignitaries, Diplomats/High Commissions of Embassies, Members of Parliament, and lakhs of visitors visited the 'Khadi India' pavilion set up by KVIC at the fair.
The "Selfie Point" in the theme pavilion of this 'Khadi India Pavilion" with Mahatma Gandhi ji and Prime Minister Narendra Modi also remained the centre of attraction for all visitors.
Through the massive participation of more than 200 stalls by Khadi artisans/entrepreneurs and representatives of small-scale industries with artisan art, cultural diversity, and traditional crafts of the country at the India International fair, they were able to meet Khadi lovers and learn about customer interest in similar products in the future.
A live demonstration of charkha spinning activity "cotton to yarn" making, pottery making, agarbatti making, and other activities inspired the youth to start their own businesses and become self-sufficient through KVIC schemes. The youth received information about KVIC's schemes to adopt self-employment and become 'Job Providers instead of Job Seekers' through the unique 'Facilitation Desk.'
