Indian Railways Expands Local Artisan Sales Through 2,300 Outlets

Indian Railways is using its stations to help local makers sell their products.

The program is called One Station One Product.

It gives artisans, weavers and small businesses small stalls at railway stations.

These stalls can reach many passengers from different parts of India.

They sell items such as paintings, clothes, toys, jewellery, shoes and local foods.

The program has more than 2,300 outlets at over 2,000 stations.

So far, it has helped more than 1.54 lakh people and produced sales of about Rs 162.39 crore.

This gives local producers a way to find customers without building their own shops.
