Uttar Pradesh Railway Stations To Sell ODOP Items

All of Uttar Pradesh's train stations will now sell the items mentioned under the "One District, One Product" (ODOP) program. This program will be known as 'One Station One Product' (OSOP).

According to a state government spokeswoman, the district railway stations would serve as promotional sites for ODOP products. The OSOP was stated in the Union Budget for 2022-2023, and as part of the program, all railway stations in a specific area will advertise ODOP items from that district.

This was decided following the success of the prototype OSOP programme at Varanasi and Pratapgarh railway stations, according to officials.

"If a train is passing through Ayodhya, then all the railway stations falling in this district - from Ayodhya, Ayodhya Cantt, Bilhar Ghat, Bada Gaon, Bharatkund, Devrakot, Darshan Nagar, Gauria Mau, Masoudha, Raujagaon, Salarpur, Sohawal, Gosaiganj, Rudauli and Acharya Narendranagar will showcase jaggery, the ODOP of this district," an official said. Navneet Sehgal, Additional Chief Secretary, MSME, has met with railway officials to discuss the project.
