The scheme aims to provide opportunity to earn livelihood to local artisans, potters, weavers, handloom weavers and craftsmen.

It was launched in April last year as a pilot project with a stall featuring wooden-carving products at the Chandigarh railway station.

Gradually 13 more stations, including Saharanpur, Ambala Cantonment, Yamunanagar Jagadhri, Barara, Rajpura, Kalka, Shimla, Patiala, Dhuri, Barnala, Sirhind, Bathinda and Abohar, were covered.

A nominal registration fee of Rs 1,000 is charged for 15-day slot from an artisan.

There are 110 main railway stations under the division.  (KNN Bureau)
