The Consulate General of India in Houston inaugurated a curated exhibition under the Government of India’s One District One Product initiative, alongside the launch of a permanent ODOP Corner at its premises.
The exhibition will be open to visitors from April 1 to April 10, from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on all working days. The permanent display will remain accessible year-round during consulate hours.
The Consulate announced the initiative on X, inviting members of the Indian diaspora and the public to engage with the program.

ODOP, a flagship program of the Government of India, focuses on promoting district-specific products by enhancing branding, improving market access, and expanding global outreach. The initiative aims to empower artisans, women-led enterprises, farmer-producer groups, and micro, small, and medium enterprises.
