Uttaranchal show kicks off

By Our Staff Reporter

NEW DELHI, NOV. 2. The "Spirit of Uttaranchal", a 15-day event showcasing diverse organic products, handloom, handicrafts and eco-tourism destinations of the hill State, began at Dilli Haat here today. The Delhi Chief Minister, Sheila Dikshit, the Uttaranchal Forest Minister, Nav Prabhat, and the Uttaranchal Chief Secretary, RS Tolia, were among those present.

Underlining the need for holding more such events in the Capital, Ms. Dikshit said Uttaranchal was very close to Delhi and lakhs of people from the hill State were now settled in the Capital. Such events not only took the natives of Uttaranchal back to their roots, but also educated and enthralled those who were not aware of the culture, cuisine and social background of the state, she added.
