The Indian Handicrafts & Gifts Fair in Noida India provides comprehensive information to foreign buyers on the entire range of handicrafts of India and liaisons between Indian handicrafts exporters and foreign buyers.<br />
<br />
The fair is an attempt to promote Indian handicrafts industry which has impressed people and connoisseurs, the entire world over with its grace, perfection and beauty. However, the handicrafts artists in India are often made to face ignominy at the hands of their employers because not all of these artists can afford to put up their own establishments. They have to depend on traders who deal with handicrafts items; these traders buy the items cheap from the artisans and sell them dear to the buyers in the city, thereby denying the craftsmen of what they actually deserve. The Indian Handicrafts & Gifts Fair Noida is an attempt to bring under the same roof, the buyers and sellers of the handicrafts industry to facilitate trade and promotion of the items, and help them communicate on closer terms so that they can come to know of each others' need. The Indian Handicrafts & Gifts Fair Noida is one of the most popular trade fairs in Noida.<br />
<br />
India is the home to the world's largest handicrafts industry. Indian Handicrafts & Gifts Fair in Noida Uttar Pradesh showcases the widest range of materials, products and designs from all over India. No matter what kind of handicrafts products you are interested in, you will find just what you need at the Indian Handicrafts & Gifts Fair in Noida India. It is a well planned display of products exhibited by over 1500 exhibitors of which 70% are accredited manufacturer-exporters with the government sponsored Export Promotion Council.<br />
<br />
The Red River would be one of the companies showcasing the products of the weavers and artisans of the North East. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Updates to follow. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br />
