Theme of 'local to global'

In line with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's goal, the theme of the exhibition is based on the idea of 'Vocal for Local, Local to Global' this year. Based on this, the exporters' goods are also being highlighted in addition to the state's traditional goods.

The state government is trying to advertise its major products on a global scale using this opportunity.
