The One District One Product (ODOP) initiative has completed 8 years of transformative impact by promoting traditional industries.
About
The ODOP initiative, spearheaded by the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT), aims to unlock each district’s unique economic potential, drive balanced regional growth, and equip local artisans to compete in national and global markets.
Product Selection Framework under ODOP: Products are selected by States and Union Territories based on the existing ecosystem on the ground and the final list is communicated to the DPIIT.
According to the 2024-25 annual report of the Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT), the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) located 71 people wanted by India in foreign countries, the highest in the last 12 years.
About
Fugitives are individuals who are accused or convicted of a crime and deliberately evade the legal process by fleeing from the jurisdiction of the country where the offence was committed.
They escape to avoid arrest, trial, conviction, or punishment by law enforcement authorities and their return requires a legally recognised international mechanism, known as extradition.
