Ambala Railway division to expand OSOP scheme to other stations
Ambala, May 1 (KNN) The Ambala Railway division is considering to expand the “One-station, one-product (OSOP)” scheme to other stations under the division.
Currently stalls under the scheme are functional at 14 stations at the division.
However sales of outlets at railway stations is yet to gain momentum.
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)
