To promote indigenous trade, the Northern Railways has invited applications from city-based artisans, potters, weavers, SHGs and co-operative societies to set up a stall at the Amritsar railway station. This is being done under its scheme ‘one station one product’.
Entrepreneurs registered under the micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs) can put up a stall for a fortnight at a token amount of Rs500.
Railway officials said in case high number of applicants turn up, then a public draw would be taken out. The last date for the submission of applications is April 8. The allottee would be provided space and infrastructure at the station.
