The South India Jute Association has organized Navaratri Jute Fair at Co-optex.
Speaking at the inauguration of the fair on Tuesday in Chennai, Minister for Handloom and Textiles Dr Sundararaj said that the government would take all steps to include jute products in the Co-optex showrooms. The Minister asked the South India Jute Association to submit a representation for the same and said that the government would take all steps to help give jute the necessary visibility through Co-optex.
The fair opened with a range of products. A jute painting of ‘The Last Supper’ was among the major attractions of the exhibition.
Juke Organic, another start-up that was featured at the fair, had come up with little organic bags that can be used to replace plastic bags to keep food products in the fridge.
A range of utility products including jute clocks, jute mirrors, jute storage bags, jute ornaments, pencil stands and a wide variety of fashion bags and clutches were key attractions. One of the major highlights was the jute laptop bag, which has been ordered in bulk by major companies and universities.
