IHGF is on in New Delhi from October 14 to 18, 2018. The fair aims at increasing exports of handicrafts from the country. This is among Asia's largest gifts and handicrafts fairs. It has the most extensive range of handcrafted products like home textiles, furnishings, carpets, decoratives, tableware, furniture, garden and outdoor, bathroom accessories, spa and wellness, lamps and lighting, Christmas and festive décor, handmade paper items, fashion jewelry and accessories.
Overseas buyers find this fair as the most effective sourcing medium for their requirements. Some 3,200 exhibitors are participating and buyers from more than a 100 countries are visiting. This is a distinctive business platform for importers, wholesalers, distributors, retailers, fashion designers, potential franchises, mail order companies and a few more to source an unparalleled variety of handicrafts, gifts and lifestyle products from a cross section of handmade manufacturers from India.
India is not only providing assistance to these craftsmen in the form of subsidies through various schemes in minimising their expenditure on health and educational needs of their families but also on transport for bringing their products to the common facility centers. A portal is being created to provide more assistance to these artisans for healthcare and education of their children.
