Which of the following is the One District One Product of Kannauj in Uttar Pradesh?
- A.Sports goods
- B.Perfume
- C.Wood carving
- D.Terracotta
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is B, Perfume. Kannauj has distilled attar from flowers, herbs and roots for centuries using the deg and bhapka method, and is called the perfume city of India, so ODOP lists perfume and attar as its product.
Option A, sports goods, is the ODOP product of Meerut, a long-established centre for cricket bats, hockey sticks and other sports equipment. Option C, wood carving, belongs to Saharanpur, whose carved furniture and panels are exported widely. Option D, terracotta, is the product of Gorakhpur, known for the clay horses, elephants and figurines of Aurangabad village. Group them by region to remember: Kannauj perfume in the central doab, Meerut sports goods and Saharanpur wood carving in the west, and Gorakhpur terracotta in the east. Examiners also ask the word used for the Kannauj method of distillation, deg and bhapka, and the fact that the district is called the perfume city, so read the product and its nickname together rather than the district name alone.
