This essentially formulates the core of investor friendly policies introduced by the Government of Uttar Pradesh.

The state of Uttar Pradesh has portrayed exemplary performance in not only implementing notable reforms like Nivesh Mitra – single window system, but also attracting big names like PepsiCo, Von Wellx, IKEA, and AB Mauri among others bringing in huge investments. Being a landlocked state, Uttar Pradesh boasts extensive connectivity through its 6-8 lane expressways, linking National Capital to provide a huge market for products and services. Apart from the upcoming Asia’s largest international airport at Jewar, investors find the Government’s hand holding process and time-bound clearances without procedural delays as a significant cause for choosing Uttar Pradesh as the right destination to do business.

Making a significant jump of 12 positions in last three years to reach number 2 in the EoDB state rankings, Uttar Pradesh, the heartland of India, has managed to defy all odds amidst the pandemic. People, process, technology, and resources have been the hallmark of e-Governance practice by the Government of Uttar Pradesh which has not only increased the revenue by checking the loopholes and making the system transparent but also reduced the cost of administration for the state government.

The smallest of towns and districts in Uttar Pradesh are hugely popular for their indigenous and specialised products and crafts. There are products found nowhere else – like the ancient and nutritious kalanamak chawal, the rare and intriguing wheat-stalk craft, world-famous chikankari and zari-zardozi work on clothes, and the intricate and stunning horn and bone work that uses the remains of dead animals rather than live ones, a nature-friendly replacement for ivory. Many of these products are GI tagged, which means they are certified as specific to that region in Uttar Pradesh. Many of these were also dying community traditions that needed reviving through modernisation and publicization.Based on a district's strengths, ODOP has been a transformational step towards realising the true potential of a district, fuel economic growth and generate employment and rural entrepreneurship. Focus continues to

be placed on enabling ecosystem and providing assistance schemes for a single commodity, including manufacturing infrastructure; and stable marketing platform to improve income, local employment, skills and livelihood beyond the urban areas and create productive manufacturing from a rural/semi urban area.Inaugurated on the occasion of UP Diwas on January 24, 2018 by the Hon’ble Chief Minister of UP – Shri Yogi Adityanath, it aims to encourage more visibility and sale of indigenous and specialized products/crafts of Uttar Pradesh, generating employment at district level thereby preventing migration and increasing exports. Under this program, one product is selected for every district of UP and it is GI (Geographic Indications) - tagged. Besides ODOP Products being available on ODOP mart, it is put up for sale in Amazon, Flipkart, eBay and GeM (Government e-marketplace). The state government has recently launched the Udyam Sarathi app under ODOP Program which has provided a platform to entrepreneurs to get all information about self-employment and related activities to set up their businesses .

Under its Skill Development and Toolkit Distribution Scheme, the state government aims to fulfil current and future skilled workforce requirements and equip the artisans/workers with relevant

skill sets. The scheme targets skilled and unskilled artisans for training under different modules and certifications and provides a free advanced toolkit to trained artisans.

The scheme’s implementation in Uttar Pradesh has enhanced the state’s export capacity by over 30 per cent since 2018 (the year ODOP was launched by Uttar Pradesh). It has also provided stable income sources to numer-ous impoverished, mostly crafts-men and artisans engaged in the production of traditional products. In just two years, the success of

the ODOP in Uttar Pradesh has inspired several not only other Indian states to adopt similar initiatives for district-level revival of local crafts and products. Promotion of rural entrepreneur-ship across the country has also acted as a major catalyst in pushing for ODOP implementation at the national scale.
