In the recent announcement by the Government of India in the Union budget, it emphasized on “One Station- One Product” scheme to make the livelihood of local artisans better and happier by giving them economic support. Under this scheme, stalls are being provided at Railway stations to the local artisans to showcase and sell the famous local products, pertaining to that particular area.
Under the One Station One Product Scheme, the Khurda Road division has launched two stalls at Bhubaneswar and Cuttack Railway stations, involving local Self Help Groups, in coordination with Odisha Rural Development and Marketing Society (ORMAS). The passengers can get the Khordha District’s famous “Bell Metal Products” at Bhubaneswar Railway station and the Cuttack District’s famous “Silver Filigree Handicrafts and Handloom products” at Cuttack Railway station.
The passengers can purchase these products directly from the artisans without involving any intermediaries. Previously, Khurda Road Division has launched one stall at Puri Railway station to promote Odisha’s famous Handicrafts “Pattachitra” and “Pipili Applique” under the One Station One Product scheme.
