“It was a nice experience and we are very thankful to NCUI for this. We had registered participation of visitors beyond our expectations at our stall. Hope in future also the apex body of co-ops will take us as our partner”, said one of the stall managers on the last day of the fair.
The fair which was dolled up like a bride concluded on 20th November 2021. The fair has been designed and managed in a manner to resemble India International Trade Fair (IITF) at Pragati Maidan.
