Uttar Pradesh has expanded its flagship One District One Product (ODOP) scheme by including 12 additional region-specific products, bringing the total number of recognized products to 74. This initiative, launched in 2018, aims to promote local craftsmanship, generate employment, and boost exports by focusing on one unique product per district. The newly added products include items like agricultural implements from Baghpat, hosiery from Saharanpur, and food processing goods from Firozabad and Pratapgarh. This move is part of the state’s larger vision to drive economic growth and achieve a $1 trillion economy by 2029 through localised industrial development.
