The C-Mart scheme has emerged in Chhattisgarh as a successful initiative in making available rural products to the urban market.

C-Marts have been established in the cities of Rajnandgaon and Dongargarh to foster development of the rural economy by facilitating the sale of locally-made products.

This feat is attributed to the diverse range of 2,617 products available at the store, all of which are meticulously crafted by Women‘s groups and traditional Cottage industries.

The increasing popularity of these well-packaged handmade items among the general public has contributed to the sales.

Moreover, ashrams, hostels, schools, Anganwadis, Health centers and various departments and other government sectors are procuring essential supplies and food items from C-Marts.

C-Mart showcases an extensive array of products manufactured in state-run Rural Industrial Parks too.

This initiative by the has established a strong connection between rural and urban markets.
