## ANSWER

## वाणिज्य एवं उद्योग मंत्रालय में राज्य मंत्री ( श्री सोम प्रकाश ) THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COMMERCE & INDUSTRY (SHRI SOM PARKASH)

- (a) & (b) : One District One Product - Districts as Export Hubs Initiative (ODOP DEH) is not a scheme but rather an initiative aimed at fostering balanced regional development across all districts of the country. The idea is to select, brand, and promote one product from each district (One District - One Product) of the country for enabling holistic socioeconomic growth across all regions.  District wise identified list of products and services of Maharashtra is at Annexure.

ODOP has been merged with 'Districts as Export Hubs Initiative' (DEH) being run by the Department of Commerce (DoC) with Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) as a major stakeholder.

ODOP-DEH initiative highlights the need to channelize the potential and diverse identity in each District of the country to make them export hubs along with manufacturing  for domestic  markets  . Department  of Commerce (through DGFT) and Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal trade (DPIIT) work with all States/UTs and district to create institutional  mechanisms  to  facilitate    manufacturing  and  exports  of identical products/services.

Districts Export Action Plans  have been prepared for identified products and services for overseas markets, which includes specific actions to support local exporters/manufacturers in producing/manufacturing products in adequate quantity and with quality. The aim is to benefit both producers and manufacturers by addressing challenges like infrastructural bottlenecks, supply chain gaps, improving market accessibility and handholding for increasing exports.

- (c)  & (d): No Sir.
