The One District One Product (ODOP) UP scheme is a flagship program launched by the Uttar Pradesh government in 2018 to boost traditional, indigenous, and specialized crafts/industries. It aims to generate employment, preserve heritage, and boost economic growth by supporting specific products in each of the 75 districts. It includes financial aid, marketing support, and skill training. The initiative was unveiled by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on November 8, 2025, and later officially rolled out by Union Home Minister Amit Shah on January 24 this year. It is inspired by Centre's ‘One District, One Product’ model. The government has allocated ₹150 crore for its rollout. Under the scheme, artisans and entrepreneurs can avail subsidies of up to 25 per cent, with a maximum cap of ₹20 lakh. However, the benefit can be claimed only once, and detailed guidelines of the subsidy are still awaited.
