Shri Hari KRISHI, KUTIR – UDYOG & GRAMIN PARYATAN PRADARSHINI

Ever since I have started spending my quality time in Munsyari, the border block of district Pithoragarh, I have realized that these places have some events which have the capacity to active agriculture and land based activities, cottage industries and even financial inclusion.

Based on this premise I have drafted a project proposal wherein all institutions and individuals can play a role and make an institutional contribution.

The event is a three days Exhibition from 5th November to 7th November and the details of day to day events are contained therein.

I request you to examine the Brochure (below ) and decide for yourself and your organisation what role can be played by you in reviving such activities in our border regions.

You may kindly send in your response either to me or on the following address to the Organizers of the Exhibition. This Exhibition has been in uninterrupted existence since  1953.
