Kathmandu, Aug. 22

Aiming at the approaching Teej festival, the DECC Nepal is organising a Teej fair at the United World Trade Centre (WTC) in Kathmandu from August 23 to August 27. 

DECC Nepal's Managing Director, Manoj Gurung, informed that the fourteenth edition of the fair, which has been organised for the past 13 years, will be promoted and managed by AS Events and Marketing.

There will be more than 100 stalls in the five-day fair, which is being organised for women to shop daily use items at a reasonable price in addition to all the items needed for Teej festival.

According to Gurung, all the stalls for the fair have been booked, and free stalls have been arranged for non-profit organisations. We will manage additional stalls if such organisations come in contact, he said. He stated that the fair aims to expand business and promote women entrepreneurs among others.

Anil Shrestha, Managing Director of AS Marketing, said that exhibitors and sellers from Nepal and neighboring countries will participate, and in the fair, cloth, cosmetics, bangles and other materials can be purchased under one roof at a cheaper price than the market price.  

Various companies and organisations will provide gift to the visitors of the fair. According to the DACC, shops and restaurants in the trade centre are offering heavy discount on their goods and services.

The fair will be conducted from 10am to 7pm, with day-to-day door prizes. Organisers expect over 20,000 people to attend the fair.
