Railways expands scheme to promote local arts, crafts, new stalls expected to start this month

Dharavi’s leather industry became the first face of the city’s many talents last month, at CSMT
Textiles at Parel, craft jewellery at Byculla, chikki at Lonavala, stone art at Badlapur, bamboo products at Thane, and so on. Fourteen more stations on Central Railway’s Mumbai division have been picked to promote their respective region’s arts and crafts made by artisans and tribals.
This is a first-of-its-kind initiative on the suburban railways, where artisans get one of the largest open platforms to interact directly
with their customers. Dharavi’s leather industry was picked up as the first face of the city`s many talents, under the ‘One Station, One Product’ programme, last month, at CSMT.
