Nagpur: The Nag Vidarbha Chamber of Commerce (NVCC) felicitated Union Minister Nitin Gadkari for bringing retail and wholesale trade under the ambit of MSME. In a small function held recently, NVCC President Ashwin Mehadia and office-bearers honoured Gadkari by offering him a shawl, shriphal and floral bouquet.
