The Wakro Rural Haat will provide much needed market space, featuring a market shed with an elevated platform, a small storage cum office area, fully equipped toilets with water supply and sanitation amenities, solar-powered lighting systems, and a well-structured solid waste disposal compost pit.
The establishment of this Rural Haat aims to address the challenges faced by local farmers who currently vend their fresh produce by the roadside, thus exposing them to harsh weather conditions and vehicular movement risks.
DDM NABARD, Nitya Mili also addressed the gathering highlighting the core objectives of the Rural Haat project. He highlighted on NABARD’s diverse developmental interventions in both farming and non-farming sectors.

BC ArSRLM Dulley Ankha underscored the strategic location of the Haat, positioned prominently by the side of National highway at Wakro between Chongkham and Parsuramkund. He anticipates that this prime location will augment sales of local produce while offering convenience to customers seeking fresh organic vegetables.
