One-Stop Tribal Outlet Opens In Bhubaneswar
The Odisha capital has added tribal heritage to its already rich cultural and artistic platter. Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik has inaugurated a tribal retail outlet, ‘ADISHA’ (Adibasi Odisha), near Rupali Square in Bhubaneswar.
ADISHA will facilitate the marketing of minor forest produces (MFPs), handicraft, handlooms, art, jewellery, spices, painting, food items like ragi cookies and other bakery products made by tribal communities in Odisha. It will basically serve as a one-stop point for tourists, researchers, curious buyers and students interested in the state’s tribal fare.
The shop is part of an initiative by the state-run TDCCOL (Tribal Development Cooperative Corporation of Odisha Ltd), which already owns 11 exclusive Tribal World outlets in six districts apart from a dedicated mobile shop, ‘Tribals on Wheels’.
Minister of State for SC and ST Development Jagannath Saraka, BJD MLA Anant Narayan Jena, Principal Secretary of SC and ST Development department Ranjana Chopra and senior officials were present at ADISHA’s inauguration on Monday.
