Gandhi Smriti and Darshan Samiti (GSDS) director Dipanker Shri Gyan today announced offering forward and backward linkages to market traditional dresses, handicrafts and artifacts of Arunachal Pradesh.

His announcement came while interacting with youth participants during a workshop on "attracting & retailing youth in agriculture" in collaboration with National Youth Project (NYP).

The DSDS will procure such traditional products as samples to exhibit in its New Delhi emporium while payment will be with 20 percent profit and order placed on demands as approved by its technical committee.

He invited local weavers, artisans and handicraft experts to New Delhi to demonstrate their skill for others to learn, he said.
 

He was responding to a question from NYP vice president Pradeep Kumar Behera, who said that few fashion designers were ready with their products and added that the NYP will serve as a bridge between the locals and GSDS.

Terming Win(Shree) Crops, an organic product, creating wonders in 42 nations by doubling any crop and tripling any pulse production, Behera disclosed that global organic scientist Dr Nilmadhab Nanda collects 97 seaweeds 25-30 km deep sea from all over the world to develop it in his London laboratory.

Citing the success story of example Win(Shree) Crops, NYP president H P Biswas advocated its use for higher production.
