Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has said his government's "one district, one product" scheme will play an important role in turning the state into a USD 1 trillion economy by 2024.

"The MSME sector already existed but was neglected for the last 15-20 years without the government support. We started the 'one district, one product' scheme and encouraging results have already started pouring in," the chief minister told reporters on Wednesday night.

Pointing out the spurt in export from the state in 2018-19 after the launch of the scheme, Adityanath said, "Export of Bhadohi carpets has doubled from Rs 4,000 crore to Rs 8,000 crore."
