Like every year, Bangladesh Weavers' Product and Manufacturing Business Association (BWPMBA) has organised the fair.
Industries Minister Dilip Barua inaugurated the fair as the chief guest while Director of Bangladesh Folk Art and Crafts Foundation (BFACF) Rabindra Gope attended the function as special guest.
Among others, BWPMBA president SM Khalilur Rahman, senior vice- president Pobirta Paul and executive committee members M Salauddin Osman Gani and Arif Bhuiyan were present.
Speaking on the occasion, Barua said the sector has already created huge jobs for the poor especially the rural poor.
"We should take some special measures for the industry as it has huge potential to grow further," Barua said.
The main objective of the fair is to regain Jamdani's lost glory by promoting the traditional product at home and abroad,organisers said.
"We would be able to improve the quality of traditional jamdani clothing assessing customers' choice and attitude in the fair," they said.
They demanded of the government to provide working capital for the weavers, set up a permanent display centre and a 'Taanti Palli' in Dhaka and arrange training for modern fashion and design to propel the growth of the sector.
A vast array of Jamdani products is being displayed in 81 stalls of the fair, which would remain open to all from 9 am to 10 pm every day.
A huge quantity of the traditional clothes including Jamdani and Taant sarees are being exported to many countries in Europe and Asia including India, Nepal, Sri Lanka and the UAE, said M Salauddin.
