The 'Hunar Haat' festival in Uttar Pradesh would bring together over 400 craftsmen and craftspeople from more than 30 states and union territories.

“Hunar Haat is bolstering the ‘swadeshi' and ‘vocal for local' campaigns by providing a market and chances for centuries-old traditional and ancestral arts and crafts from India. In addition, it has guaranteed the economic development of indigenous artists and craft workers,"

Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi, the Union Minister for Minority Affairs, said in a release. "In the previous six years, more than 6 lakh craftsmen, craftspeople, and others linked with us have been granted jobs and employment chances through 'Hunar Haat,'" he continued.

Over the following two months, the Hunar Haat will be held in the cities of Lucknow, Hyderabad, Surat, and New Delhi.
