About One District One Product Scheme:

One District One Product (ODOP) is an initiative towards realizing the true potential of a district.
Its aim is to identify one product per district based on the potential and strength of a district and national priorities.
A cluster for that product will be developed in the district and market linkage will be provided for that. This will help convert each district of the country into an Export Hub by identifying products with export potential.
It also aims to address bottlenecks in exporting products and support local manufacturers. It is an initiative of the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT).
