Uttar Pradesh has identified 208 traditional dishes across its 75 districts under the new One District One Cuisine (ODOC) scheme, with a Rs 75 crore budget allocated for 2026-27. India Today reports the scheme, launched by Union Home Minister Amit Shah in January, aims to document, brand, and improve market access for local food heritage. The government says the initiative is separate from the One District One Product programme and does not guarantee commercial success for individual producers.
