Uttar Pradesh's ODOP Program Boosts Gorakhpur Terracotta and Agra Footwear Industries
The Uttar Pradesh government's One District, One Product (ODOP) initiative has supported traditional industries in Gorakhpur and Agra by providing artisans with training, financial aid, and market access. Gorakhpur's terracotta craft and Agra's footwear sector, both rooted in generational skills, have expanded commercially, reaching national and international markets. The program has helped transform household-based crafts into larger enterprises, sustaining livelihoods for many families and promoting skill development among younger generations.
