A central government agency which markets and promotes tribal products will set up Atmanirbhar Bharat corner — exclusive space to promote GI-tagged tribal art and craft products — in 75 Indian missions and embassies across the world in the next three months.

The first Atmanirbhar Bharat corner was inaugurated at the Indian Embassy in Bangkok, Thailand, on Independence Day.
