Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): Governor Mangubhai Patel said that the Bhopal Utsav Mela is more than just a trade fair, as it has evolved into an important platform for spreading culture, literature, and art of India among people. He said that the fair holds a unique identity in both the state and country.
Speaking at the closing ceremony of the Bhopal Utsav Mela on Sunday, the Governor extended his congratulations to all the stakeholders, organisers, and the residents of Bhopal for the fair’s success. He said that fairs are symbols of culture, civilisation, and faith, describing the Bhopal Utsav Mela as a prime example of this.
Governor Patel said that fairs promote unity within the community and provide a space for people from all walks of life—whether rich or poor, urban or rural, children or the elderly—to come together, enjoy food, and engage in recreational activities. He also said that fairs contribute to economic growth, with attractions such as entertainment swings, exhibitions, food stalls, and the display of products encouraging purchases.
The Governor praised the fair committee for providing artists, litterateurs, and poets with the opportunity to showcase their talents through cultural programmes alongside business activities.
