Meghalaya is well known for its arts, crafts, textiles and agri-produces. However, the State’s artisans and farmers have not been able to command a premium price for their products due the lack of an overarching marketing platform. In this regard The Meghalayan Age Store was inaugurated by Shri. Piyush Goyal, Hon’ble Union Minister for Textiles and Commerce & Industries, in the presence of Shri. Conrad Sangma, Hon’ble Chief Minister of Meghalaya. The store is located at the Rajiv Gandhi Handicrafts Bhavan at Baba Kharak Singh Road, Connaught Place, New Delhi.
The store is poised to be this overarching platform that will enable the artisans and farmers of the State to reach-out to the upper echelons of patrons in India and abroad.
Shri. Conrad K. Sangma, Chief Minister of Meghalaya, stated that “Meghalayan Age Store is a step taken by the Government towards enabling artisans and farmers of the State to attain a higher value and appreciation for their products. He also stated that the Store will be a platform for the people of Meghalaya to showcase their products and talent at the Nation’s capital, to a niche consumer segment willing to pay a premium price”.
