Background:

Phase VII, Spell IV of the o­ne Station o­ne Product scheme currently operational o­n Indian Railways has helped garner a total sale of 35,559 items worth INR 43.33 lakhs as o­n September 13, 2022.

One station-one product as a concept aims to promote a local product from each stop of the Indian Railways by making the railway station of that area a promotional and sales hub for the product. With the similar idea of o­ne District o­ne Product, the focus of “One station o­ne product” will continue to be placed o­n enabling the ecosystem and providing a stable marketing platform to improve income, ensure local employment, skills and livelihood.

In this initiative, the railways would provide infrastructure and other assistance for the sale of the products at the station to encourage local artisans to promote indigenous products and crafts and to make railway stations, a promotional and sales hub for local products. 

The o­ne Station o­ne Product Project as part of the Vocal for Local programme is yet another positive step by the Railways in realizing the dream of Atmanirbhar Bharat.
