All kinds of such products that are beneficial and useful from every perspective get a big platform here. Our effort is to provide opportunities to the people making such products, artisans, and craftsmen. We make every possible effort to encourage them... Inspired by the Prime Minister, the journey from local to global is going well... The products being made by our women are of very high quality," Dhami said.
Earlier in the day, Pushkar Singh Dhami inaugurated the second floor of the All India Uttarakhand Dharamshala Ashram located at Pushkar, Ajmer, Rajasthan, a release said.
A large number of migrant residents of Uttarakhand, local citizens, and representatives of various organisations were present at the special programme organised on this occasion.
