‘One Station One Product’ concept aims to encourage indigenous and specialised products and crafts of India through providing display and sale outlets on railway stations across the country.
- The products would be specific to that place and could include artefacts made by indigenous tribes, handlooms by local weavers, handicrafts like world famous wood carving, chikankari and zari-zardozi work on clothes, or spices tea, coffee and other processed/semi processed food items/products indigenously grown in the area.
- Indian Railways intends to provide stall/ kiosk/ sale outlets at identified railway stations for sale and promotion of items sourced from local manufacturers to improve their skills and livelihood. Presently a pilot is under implementation and requirement of funds has not been assessed at this stage.
- A pilot project has been launched w.e.f. 25.03.2022 on each Zonal Railway. One product indigenous to the respective locality/ region has been identified and it is envisaged to allot space on the station for sale of this product.
