The BIS stall, a key highlight of the exhibition, drew large crowds, particularly engineering students, who were eager to learn about the various standards endorsed by BIS and their impact on both domestic and international markets. Many students, previously unaware of standards, expressed curiosity about the benefits of purchasing BIS-approved products.
Kunal Kumar, Director and Head of BIS, commented, “It’s a privilege to be part of such a significant event, alongside other major players in India’s economic landscape. We are delighted to engage with the public, especially college students who represent the future of this country. Talking about standards in a public forum such as this is a step toward building greater awareness.”
Nearly a thousand students visited the BIS stall during the first day. The officials at the stall showcased BIS’s commitment to quality standards and highlighted BIS’s role in promoting a culture of quality consciousness across the nation.
Organized by Visual Myths, Radiant Jharkhand aims to raise awareness about the welfare schemes run by the central government, provide information on educational and employment opportunities for the youth and highlight developmental initiatives undertaken by the government. The exhibition is also celebrating the rich cultural heritage and handicrafts of Jharkhand.
