The 71st edition of All-India Industrial Exhibition, popular in the Twin Cities as Numaish, was inaugurated by Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy on Saturday evening.Mr. Reddy recalled on the occasion his fond memories of going round the exhibition in his childhood days.

He said he used to eagerly await the event from December while it was scheduled a month later. The Chief Minister appreciated that the Exhibition Society had generated Rs. 14 crore from the 46-day fair and spent most of the sum on the 18 educational institutions run by it.

He praised the Society for recognising the worth of education seven decades ago while it was only recently made a Fundamental Right.
