Jamshedpur, Oct 21: With an aim of making women self-reliant, promoting women entrepreneurship and encouraging local artisans, the Singhbhum Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) is organising a two-day Diwali Trade Fair-2024 on October 21-22 at the Chamber Bhawan in Bistupur.
Vice-president, (Trade and Commerce) of the trade body Anil Modi said due to the busy schedule of people, Diwali shopping becomes a bit troublesome.
Keeping this view, the Chamber Bhavan organizes the fair every year before Diwali to provide all the related items under one roof in an organized manner.
He said that in view of the success of the Diwali fair organized by the Singhbhum Chamber every year, the number of stalls in it is increasing.
