The history of IITF is closely interwoven with India’s struggle for socio-economic empowerment and industrialisation and its emergence as one of the most rapidly growing and dominant global economies. The Fair has been a unique platform for displaying the entrepreneurial skills and ingenuity of the people of India. It has become a part of the collective conscious of the people of the country and is one of the most eagerly awaited annual events. A remarkable feature of this multiproduct exhibition is that it offers an equal opportunity for Government organisations, large corporations, Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs), non-government agencies, artisans, self-help groups (SHGs), etc. to promote their products and services to a very large sample of potential customers. The fair is an important platform for various central and state government departments and agencies for dissemination of information on progressive reforms, new schemes and initiatives. In other words, the fair serves as a convergence point for government agencies, private sector enterprises, non-government institutions and the public at large which have aligned their activities with the country’s development objectives.
