Encouraged by the positive response from rail passengers to the ‘One Station One Product’ scheme and the ‘Vocal for Local’ programme aimed to popularize wooden carving products at the stations, the Railways is set to launch the fourth spell of the schemes from May 9 to 23 at the Chandigarh station.
The ‘One Station One Product’ scheme aims at providing opportunities to local artisans, potters, weavers/ handloom weavers, craftsmen, etc. to make a living through their skills and provide them with sale outlets at railway stations across the country. It will also promote local handicrafts, handlooms, and processed food items which are unique to the area around the railway stations.
