SME Exhibition at BMICH
The Exhibition was inaugurated by Mr. Kumara Welgama; Minister of
Industrial Development and the guest of honour was Mr. Nawaz Rajabdeen,
President, FCCISL. Minister Welgama in his speech said that the government is
very keen to develop the rural sector industries and urged the organizers o Alliance Development Trust played a major role by exhibiting all handicrafts
made by the Tsunami and War effected persons. This helped to create a strong
link between the communities, study bonds with the organizers, create a
strong market for their products as well as exchange the value of their products.
One of the main objectives of being a part of this trade fair was
to create a strong niche to market these products. Thereby ADT will be able to
uplift the vulnerable persons and families through a sustainable livelihood.
ADT found this exhibition a great success as it drew much
attention and support for those on a journey of hope to rebuild their lives.

Ministry of Industrial Development launched their third SME Machinery

exhibitions in provinces for the benefit of the up and coming industrialists in
rural areas. He continued to say that the economy which was centered in and
around Colombo has now expanded to other regions and they would do their best
to transform the economic vision of rural industrial development into a
reality.
Mrs. R De Silva a visitor who admired our products suggested that
these products should be displayed at outlets in Colombo where there is more marketing
scope for handicraft products.
