Q151: In the context of recent Indian policy (2024-2026), the ODOP (One District One Product) initiative is closely linked to cluster development. Which of the following is NOT a primary objective of ODOP?

A
To preserve and promote traditional products like handlooms and handicrafts.
B
To allow districts to import foreign goods duty-free to replace local products.
C
To provide holistic support including branding, marketing, and credit to the identified product.
D
To integrate the district's product into global value chains.
✅ Correct Answer: B
Policy Context: The ODOP initiative is a subset of the Atmanirbhar Bharat (Self-Reliant India) vision.
Objectives:
It aims to identify one distinct product (agricultural or industrial) in every district where a natural cluster exists.
The goal is to provide Micro-Enterprises with branding, packaging, and marketing support to make them global.
Correction: It is about exporting local goods and substituting imports, definitely not about importing foreign goods to replace local ones.
