Tribal Cooperative Marketing Development Federation (TRIFED) under the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, will be setting up Atmanirbhar Corners in 75 missions and embassies around the world to mark 75 years of independence.
TRIFED will be setting up the Atmanirbhar Bharat corner in 75 Indian Missions/ Embassies across the world in the next 90 days.
The corners will be set up as part of TRIFED’s collaboration with the Ministry of External Affairs.

India has a rich legacy of indigenous products, be it handicrafts, handlooms, or any other produce.
A Geographical Indication (GI) tag is proof of where the product is born or produced.
The use of GI, as an indication of the product’s origin, acts as a certification that the product has exclusive qualities, is made/produced according to traditional methods, or has a good reputation due to its geographical origin.
The Atmanirbhar corner will exclusively be used to promote such GI-tagged tribal art and craft products besides natural and organic products from India.
Some popular Indian products that have GI-tag include Mysore silk, Madhubani paintings, Jaipur Blue pottery, Goan Fani, Meerut Scissors, Pethapur Printing Blocks, and many more.

The first Atmanirbhar corner was inaugurated at the Indian Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand on the occasion of Independence Day.
Further, these corners will be set up in 75 countries including Jamaica, Ireland, Turkey, Kenya, Mongolia, Israel, Finland, France, Canada, Singapore, Russia, US, Indonesia, Greece, and Cyprus among others.
In addition to this, TRIFED will also be establishing Atmanirbhar corners in 75 embassies of foreign countries in India.
