National Tribal Festival – Aadi Mahotsav.

February 17, 2023

The Aadi Mahotsav is a tribal festival which is organized by the Tribal Cooperative Marketing Development Federation (TRIFED) to honor the spirit of tribal traditional art, culture, crafts, gastronomy, and trade.
The main objective of conducting Aadi Mahotav is to prevent the middlemen from exploiting the tribals and to provide them direct access to markets.
Aadi Mahotsav is being organized in New Delhi.
The festival hosts nearly 200 stalls which will present the rich and varied legacy of the tribes from all around India. Almost 1000 tribal artisans are expected to take part.
Along with the customary attractions like handicrafts, handloom, ceramics, jewellery, etc., the Mahotsav will place a special emphasis on exhibiting millets under the name ‘Sri Anna’ because 2023 is being observed as the International Year of Millets.
- The United Nations announced 2023 as the International Year of Millets on India’s insistence.
