AHARE BANGLA 2016
- An Innovative venture by Government of West Bengal in the form of a Fabulous Food Festival.
Once again, it's a noble albeit a novel venture by the Government of West Bengal to serve the people with age-old as well as modern delicacies of Bengal-food with an aim to create awareness about the irresistible taste and the convenient source of the food products along with the promotion of the food industry in the state. This pro-people endeavor would also boost up the production and sale of the raw ingredients of the food products resulting in an enhanced remuneration to the farming community of Bengal.
WB Govt to organise ‘Ahare Bangla’ food fest.
To promote various types of food produced by farmers of West Bengal, the State Government will organise a food fest from October 30.

West Bengal is home to many unique varieties of rice like black aromatic rice, short grained aromatic rice ‘kalo nunia’, ‘gobinda bhog’, ‘tuali panji’ and others.
West Bengal Animal Resources Development department promote various non-conventional and exotic meat products such as quail, turkey, rabbit, emu, pork etc, while the fisheries department would promote new varieties of fish with high productivity and improved taste like ‘vennami’, ‘pungus’, ‘Vietnam koi’ etc.
