The National Traders’ Welfare Board (NTWB) held its 100th Virtual Conference (VC) Interaction Meeting to strengthen regular engagement with the trader community across the country. Established following a proposal from the Board's 2nd meeting in February 2024 and formally launched in July 2024, the weekly virtual platform allows retail traders to access information regarding government schemes, submit grievances and suggestions, and communicate recurring issues to concerned ministries and departments. Chaired by NTWB Chairman Shri Sunil J. Singhi, the initiative aims to expand participation, improve feedback mechanisms, and support dialogue between the government and traders.
