The Assam government decided to build the Unity Mall with the goals of promoting national unification, carrying forward the “Make in India” philosophy, and promoting “One District One Product.”
The decision was taken during the state cabinet meeting that was presided over by the chief minister, Himanta Biswa Sarma, last year.
The Unity Mall, which will have 35 showrooms for all states and union territories and 35 showrooms for all 35 districts of Assam, will be built close to the Assam Trade Promotion Organization Complex, Betkuchi, according to Assam tourism minister Jayanta Mallabaruah, said.
To create a platform for selling GI products of the state and North Eastern region, and to promote the brand Assam through “Made in Assam” products, the Unity Mall will provide marketing support to ‘One District One Product’ as well as traditional industries and artisans of 35 districts of the state.
