The Fair has played a vital role in increasing exports of handicrafts from the country, Tamta was quoted as saying in an official statement.

Urging exporters to take care of the artisans and craftsmen, Tamta said a portal is being created to provide more assistance to artisans for healthcare and education of their children.
