The industries department has been urged by Rajasthan’s garment manufacturers to acknowledge their industry under the one-district-one-product (ODOP) category and provide incentives similar to those provided by Uttar Pradesh and other states.
Although the advantages have not yet been announced, the department has included the gem and jewelry industry in the ODOP. Promoting the export of at least one product from each area is the aim of the ODOP.
The Garment Exporters Association of Rajasthan (GEAR) has brought attention to the advantages UP offers its manufacturers, as more than 200 garment manufacturers are scheduled to take part in the first global textile expo organized by the Union textile ministry in Delhi.
