The fourth National Industrial Trade Fair will be held from Mangsir 3 to Mangsir 16 in Manigram, Tilottama Municipality-4, Rupandehi, with organisers aiming to attract more than 500,000 visitors and generate transactions worth Rs 120 million. The Tilottama Chamber of Commerce and Industry is organising the fair to promote local products, industry, trade, agriculture, technology and tourism.
Organisers set visitor and transaction targets
Chamber president Gyanendra Karki said the event is expected to draw more than half a million visitors. Organisers have also set a transaction target of Rs 120 million for the fair. These figures represent the chamber’s expectations for the event; the announcement does not indicate that either target has already been achieved.
The fair is scheduled to run for 14 days, from Mangsir 3 through Mangsir 16. Its venue is Manigram in ward 4 of Tilottama Municipality, a town in Rupandehi district. The chamber has described the event as a national industrial trade fair, while its stated focus includes several areas of economic activity, from manufacturing and commerce to agriculture, technology and tourism.
Focus on local products and economic sectors
According to the organisers, promoting local products is among the fair’s central aims. The event is also intended to support wider awareness of industry and trade, alongside agriculture and technology. Tourism is included in the fair’s stated promotional agenda as well.
The range of sectors named by the chamber points to a programme designed to bring different parts of the local economy into one public event. The organisers have not provided further details in the announcement about the specific products, businesses or technologies that will be represented. The stated purpose, however, is to give visibility to local production and economic activity while promoting the sectors included in the fair’s agenda.
A large visitor turnout would be central to the organisers’ transaction goal. The expected attendance of more than 500,000 people and the Rs 120 million target are the key benchmarks Karki outlined for the event. The chamber has not announced how transactions will be measured or how the target is divided among the fair’s various sectors.
Event to take place in Manigram
By selecting Manigram as the venue, the chamber will bring the fair to Tilottama Municipality-4 in Rupandehi. The announced dates and location provide the main details available about when and where the event will take place. The chamber has not, in the information provided, set out a schedule of activities or published details about participation arrangements.
The fourth edition will continue the chamber’s effort to use a trade fair to promote local products and a broader mix of economic sectors. For visitors and businesses, the event’s stated scope includes industry, trade, agriculture, technology and tourism, while its projected attendance and transaction value indicate the scale the organisers hope to reach. The fair is due to run for two weeks in Manigram, with its results to be measured against the attendance and transaction expectations announced by the chamber.
