The Bengal Postal Circle has achieved a landmark export of shola art worth Rs 1 crore, marking a significant boost for the region's cultural trade.
The Bengal Postal Circle announced today that it has exported shola art worth Rs 1 crore, setting a new record for the region. Shola art, a traditional craft made from the bark of the shola tree, has long been a symbol of Bengal’s cultural heritage. The export figure reflects growing demand for authentic Indian handicrafts in international markets.
This milestone is expected to strengthen the local economy and provide a boost to artisans who produce shola art. The Bengal Postal Circle’s role in facilitating the export demonstrates the postal service’s continued commitment to supporting regional crafts.
Industry observers note that the record export value could encourage further investment in the shola art sector and open new trade channels for other traditional products from West Bengal.
