A mela witnessed a large number of participants from farmers and producers from across the District who showcased their agricultural produce and value added products.
Several line departments of the district also participated by putting up stalls at the Mela organized under central sponsored schemes namely, Mission for Integrated Development of Horticulture (MIDH) and Soil Health Card (SHC).
With the intention to capture bigger markets, while addressing the crowd at the inaugural function as Chief Guest, Deputy Commissioner of South West Garo Hills, Ch. Ramakrishna Chitturi stressed on collective marketing of their produce rather than marketing it individually.

Speaking on the rise of COVID cases globally due to newly detected Omicron variant, Chitturi appealed to the crowd to maintain COVID appropriate behavior and vaccinate in case people are hesitant.
