Ranchi: In a significant boost to local art and culture, Jharkhand Chief Minister Hemant Soren inaugurated the ‘Johargram – Made in Jharkhand’ showroom near Karamtoli Chowk in the state capital on Sunday. The ribbon-cutting ceremony marked the official launch of a one-stop destination for tribal clothing and traditional products from across Jharkhand.

Boosting Local Artisans and Cultural Recognition
