# ODOP scheme gives Firozabad glass industry a fresh push 2026-08-07T10:41:06+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Firozabad’s glass industry, which exports products to more than 100 countries, has received support under Uttar Pradesh’s One District One Product scheme, the state government says. The programme has helped entrepreneurs access loans, subsidies and training, while creating local work for women and reducing migration, according to the government. Over 12 years, schemes in the district provided assistance to thousands of beneficiaries, including 1,778 under ODOP training and 5,550 under Vishwakarma Shram Samman. Exporter Rajeev Dixit said subsidies helped him open another unit and upgrade technology. Artisan Snehlata said workers who once travelled to Noida and Delhi can now find work closer to home. ## Coverage - indiatoday.in Tags: exports, Firozabad, glass industry, ODOP scheme, Uttar Pradesh Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/odop-scheme-gives-firozabad-glass-industry-a-fresh-push/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
