Superintendent of Police of South West Garo Hills, Stephen A Rynjah, inaugurated the exhibition.
Addressing the inaugural program as the Chief Guest, he advised the local artisans to take their work seriously and not merely do things for the sake of availing Government schemes.
Stating that hardwork being the key ingredient to success, Rynjah also encouraged the local artisans to take advantage of such platforms to support and learn from each other.
The other Officials present at the inaugural program were General Manager of DCIC, DFR Marak, and Principal of Government Higher Secondary School, KR Marak, among couple of others. Harting Shira, an artisan from Wadak Boldak Self Help Group was also present on the occasion and shared his experiences.
