One Station, One Product: Visakhapatnam Railway Station to implement Centre’s ambitious concept
The Railway Board on Friday announced that Visakhapatnam will soon implement the Centre’s ‘One Station, One Product’ concept.
Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced the ‘One Station, One Product’ concept in the recent Union Budget to help local businesses and supply chains. The concept is based on the hugely popular ‘One District, One Product’ scheme and aims to promote the supply chain of local products using the Indian Railways network, turning each station into a showcase destination and promotional hub for local products.
Vishakapatnam will be the first station in the East Coast Railway network to implement the concept and run it on a pilot basis for 15 days. The station will become a showcase hub for toys and handicraft products from the famous Etikoppaka lacquer ware toy manufacturing village located nearby.
