One District One Product Scheme (ODOP)
Recently the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has organized a state conference to promote the One District One Product Scheme (ODOP) initiative.
ODOP was first started in Uttar Pradesh. Its objective was to create product-specific traditional industrial centers in 75 districts of the state.
It is being adopted across India to achieve the actual potential of each district.
From the operational point of view, it has been merged with the ‘District as Export Hub’ initiative. The Export Hub initiative is being implemented by the Directorate General of Foreign Trade.
