Chitrakoot has gained recognition for its wooden toys and wood art: a subsidy of 25% on loans up to ₹2.5 million, and benefits will be available from the ODOP scheme.

In Chitrakoot, amidst limited employment opportunities, the business of wooden toys can become an alternative for local youth and artisans. The district has gained recognition under the One District One Product (ODOP) scheme for its wooden toys and woodcraft. As a major center for religious tourism, Chitrakoot attracts devotees and tourists throughout the year. In such a scenario, selling wooden toys designed with religious and local themes can be a viable option.
