The Uttar Pradesh cabinet, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has approved the 'One District-One Cuisine' scheme to promote and market traditional cuisines from across the state. This initiative, modeled after the successful 'One District-One Product' program, aims to identify signature dishes from each district and enhance their branding, packaging, and marketing. MSME Minister Rakesh Sachan stated that the scheme will improve quality, extend shelf life, and create export opportunities for traditional food products. Artisans and entrepreneurs in the food sector will benefit from subsidies of up to 25%, capped at ₹20 lakh (approximately $24,000 USD). A total budget of ₹150 crore (approximately $18 million USD) has been earmarked for this initiative. The scheme is expected to elevate regional delicacies such as Agra's petha, Mathura's peda, and Jaunpur's imarti to national and global recognition. In addition to this scheme, the cabinet approved a ₹546.51 crore (approximately $66 million USD) project for constructing a six-lane road in Lucknow and other initiatives aimed at enhancing infrastructure and environmental efforts.
