One Local Body One Product (OLOP) Scheme
The Government of Kerala (GoK) had declared 2022-23 as the “Year of Enterprises” with the motto “My enterprise, Nations’ pride”. As part of this initiative, from April 1, 2022, to January 11, 2024, more than 2,11,042 enterprises have registered in the State bringing in an investment of Rs. 13,244 Crores and creating more than 4,49,852 employment opportunities.
The State Government has established an ecosystem where a greater number of enterprises are operating successfully. The schemes and services implemented by the Industries Department are aimed towards nurturing of this ecosystem. The Local Self Government Department has been providing excellent support to the Industries Department in creating this positive entrepreneurial environment in the state. The LSGD is also implementing several projects in convergence with the Industries Department.
The One Local Body One Product (OLOP) scheme is a joint initiative undertaken by the Department of Industries & Commerce and Department of Local Self-Government in Kerala. It is envisaged to promote the utilization of the local resources to create value added products and connect them to the global market. The scheme aims to strengthen the domestic production by manufacturing indigenous products using locally available resources in collaboration with the Local Self-Government Institutions (LSGI). As a first step towards OLOP project implementation, each LSGI is required to identify products having potential for economic growth by value addition to locally available resources.
To ensure the sustainability of the OLOP project, each LSGI needs to develop a Detailed Project Report (DPR). Through this scheme, Industries Department shall provide assistance to local bodies for preparation of the DPR towards the implementation of OLOP project. The initiative aims to select, brand, and promote at least One Product from each local body for enabling holistic socioeconomic growth of the local body.
The products selected under OLOP shall be based on various factors like Raw material availability, Infrastructure availability, value addition potential, availability of skilled labor, marketing facilities etc. The assistance of up to Rs. 50,000 per local body shall be provided as cost of preparation of the DPR by the Industries Department. The assistance will be released in two stages:
- 50% as advance i.e., Rs. 25,000 shall be disbursed as first installment on getting approval of the product under the OLOP scheme.
- The balance amount limited to a maximum of Rs. 25,000 incurred as actual expense shall be disbursed as second installment on getting the approval of DPR by the District Level Approval Committee.
The DPR shall be a comprehensive outline of the OLOP project consisting of technical, financial, and all other information related to the project. It shall contain details about the availability of resources, infrastructure, existing value addition mechanism. DPR shall also act as a guideline for the implementation of the project and shall assist in the planning, decision-making, execution, and approval of the OLOP project.
Scheme Implementation
To prepare the DPR for the OLOP project, the LSGIs may take the assistance from the agencies empaneled by the Industries Department or any other competent agency of their choice.
Once the DPR is approved, the LSGI shall ensure the implementation of the OLOP project as per the timelines and milestones mentioned in the approved DPR. Monitoring and evaluation of the project shall be conducted by the local body at all stages of the project, as per the approved framework in the DPR. Necessary actions towards ensuring the sustainability of the OLOP project shall be taken by the LSGI.
The Industries Department shall provide necessary technical advice to local bodies to implement the DPR. Department shall also provide available support to the OLOP products for marketing through various channels, including e-commerce platforms, government exhibitions, and fairs.
All other expenses towards the implementation of this DPR shall be met by the respective local body. LSGIs may utilize the Local Economic Development and other funds available under the various Central/ State schemes for the successful implementation of the OLOP project. Any additional requirement may also be met from the budgetary provisions of the local body.
Till date, the Local Self Government Department has been providing all the necessary cooperation and support towards the activities conducted by the Industries Department. Going forward, we expect to strengthen our relationship for the successful implementation of all the projects including the OLOP scheme.
