The objective of this component is to setup a permanent marketing infrastructure in big towns/ metropolitan cities to provide direct marketing facilities to the handicrafts artisans/handloom weavers. This will enable them to sell their products round the year to a wider target audience (or customer segment). Another important feature of the Haat is that there will be adequate number of stalls selling authentic Indian cuisine of various regions in the country by rotation. The Food & Craft Bazaar will provide leisure & recreational facilities for domestic as well as international tourists on the lines of Dilli Haat, which has already attained a prominent status amongst important domestic & international buyers/ tourists. The haat shall be constructed in an area of not less than 8,000 sq. m. and will have a display gallery, food court etc. The stalls are allotted to artisans on rotational basis on a nominal rent. In addition, weavers can also participate in this scheme.
