TRIFED has also initiated the concept of sourcing tribal products by way of organizing Tribal Artisan Melas (TAMs) to identify new artisans and products from different regions/ States where tribal artisans are invited to display their products for selection and inclusion in the range of products marketed by TRIFED. Design and quality inputs are given to the artisans wherever required for overall improvement and better marketing prospects of their products.
Under the purview of the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, TRIFED is the only apex body of Government of India which is engaged in the development and marketing of traditional tribal products including metal craft, paintings, textiles, jewellery, natural/ organic/ herbal products etc.
Its main objective is to improve the livelihood of the tribal communities by creating a sustainable market and create business opportunities for them based on their cultural knowledge and traditional skills whilst ensuring fair and equitable remuneration for their products by organizing Tribal Crafts Mela.
