Trade Fairs or Trade shows have now become an integral part of the urban life style of Indian people .Today’s everybody knows very well that International Trade Fairs in India play such a big role in Indian International market. Indian market day by day growing with help of it. Here a question arise that why International Trade Fairs much successful in India?

Indian trades have been legendary (famous) as this was the reason why so many countries in the past tried to establish a trade route with India. Today India has established itself in the commercial market of the world and countries from far and wide find this as a great opportunity to benefit from the continuous boom in the Indian economy. Trade shows are organized in every major city to encourage the locals as well as the multi national companies to come and see the response of the Indian International market towards their products. The main reason of International trade fairs in India is its largest population and due to its large population in India Demand of products always very high. So producers always willing to invest in India. In India some companies that operate on the international level to get in touch with the real end consumers and to understand the needs and also the demand of their product by the consumers. On the other hand consumers can have a direct interface with the new and cheap products in the markets and can also enjoy purchasing and browsing through the new products in the market. By this way Indian market has got the benefit by making its own place in International Market. That’s why Indian government invested with very high budgetary outlay. The other main reason is Indian Open Market which proved very much beneficial for Indian market. Now Indian government allows Direct Foreign Investment and also privatized some sectors and these are also the main reason that other countries invest in India because it’s easy for them. For this purpose Indian government also has been providing some facilities like reduced import custom duties, declares latest Tax exemption and financial incentives. Now a day’s Indian government also simplified imports procedures. So by this way Cost of the Products and services effected. To invest in India is very cost effective than other country. India provides Labors, raw material, other expenses with very cheapest cost which benefited for both to India and other countries. Indian people also get employment by their countries and no doubt economical growth happens. Another main reason is Indian culture. Indian culture is very rich which becomes another important reason to attract the other countries toward India.

Now in India huge number of upcoming Trade fairs falls. Import maximum of products because of large Indian area and largest population. Recently result of some survey shows Indian market has an amazing growth and opportunities.

Hunger has many faces. It can be temporary or chronic. It can mean caloric inadequacy or nutrient deficiency. It can be rooted in failed governments or poorly performing markets. It can be lessening, as in Asia, or worsening, as in Africa. And so on. The essential point, however, is that ending hunger requires both the alleviation of specific problems and the eradication of its root cause, poverty. Aid is well-suited for relieving temporary deprivation through emergency assistance. It also can correct nutrient deficiencies through fortification. It often is a necessary response to dislocations from civil unrest, stagnant economies or natural disasters, as Hurricane Katrina so vividly illustrated. Aid is not well-suited for redressing chronic hunger or caloric deficits as donors will weary of it. Moreover, free food displaces commercial production and development. Aid also does not help well-functioning markets get established and grow. And, it can be disruptive to self-sustaining growth where hunger is declining. On the other hand, trade is ill-suited for emergencies, which by their nature reflect a breakdown in normal communications and commerce. It also is ineffective in serving populations that lack the means to help themselves, whether they are infants and children or the abject poor. Trade works best in jumpstarting economic development, creating wider markets for local production and increasing the reliability of supplies. Too many believe that developing countries have nothing to contribute to liberalization and little to gain from their own reforms. Nothing could be further from the truth. While the average U.S. agricultural tariff under the WTO is 12 percent, it is over 30 percent in the EU, over 50 percent in Japan, 66 percent in Korea and more than 110 percent in India. The world average is more than five times the U.S. level.

According to recent World Bank study we underline the need for mutual reductions in trade distortions:

• Comprehensive global trade reform would increase global welfare by nearly $300 billion per year;

• Developing countries stand to capture 45 percent of this gain;

• Agricultural trade reform accounts for roughly two-thirds of the welfare gain for developing countries, or about $100 billion; and

Market access reforms by developing countries increase their own welfare; they also will help prompt the developed-country reforms poor countries seek. It is a potential win-win for them. Developing countries should not be resisting market access concessions. Rather, they should exchange them for what they can gain in both trade and aid from agreeing to the reforms they need to make to accelerate their own development.

In May 2, 2007, China officially banned the trade in human organs, China’s state media reported. The Asian giant is often accused of heavily involving in the harvesting the organs of executed prisoners for transplant surgeries.

Is harvesting human organs for transplant in this way ethical? After all, lives are being saved from such transplant surgeries. Well, the debate on this subject matter by various interest and human right groups is ongoing and yet to be settled.

The new law and regulations issued by the State Council, China’s powerful cabinet prohibit all organizations and individuals from trading in human organs in any form, the official state media, Xinhua news agency reported.

Any doctor or surgeon found to be involved in illegal trading of human organs for transplant surgeries will have his/her medical license revoked. Clinics and hospitals will be suspended from doing transplant operations for at least three years if convicted of defying the law on organ transplant trade.

Fines have been set at about ten times the value of the outlawed trading of human organs and government officials convicted for trading in human organs will be sacked immediately.

International human right groups have long accused China country of harvesting organs from executed prisoners for transplant surgeries without their consent or that of their family. China’s hospitals too have also been similarly accused of stealing human organs from road accident victims and other dead patients without telling family members.

The Chinese government has always denied any of these accusations, saying that most organs are voluntarily donated whom the donors have given their consent. Foreign patients facing compatible shortage of human organs in their home countries have flocked to China where human organs are plentiful and the transplant surgeries are relatively less expensive.

China has the world’s second largest number of human organ transplant performed after the United States of America with about 5,000 transplant operations performed every year. However, if you look at the population of China, the world’s largest population, the number of transplant operations is still relatively small.The new law does not apply to transplants of human tissue such as cells, corneas and bone marrow.

Do you think that China’s ban on the human organ’s trade is a move in the right dierection? Are there better ways to harvest human organs ethically? After all, the donors are already dead and their organs will be wasted when buried or cremated along with them. Why not let the dead bring life to the living?
