Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin on Saturday launched the Kalaignar Kaivinai Thittam (KKT), artisans development scheme named after former CM M Karunanidhi, rejecting the Centre's PM Vishwakarma Scheme in its present form.
KANCHIPURAM: Tamil Nadu chief minister MK Stalin on Saturday launched the Kalaignar Kaivinai Thittam (KKT), artisans development scheme named after former CM M Karunanidhi, rejecting the Centre's PM Vishwakarma Scheme in its present form.
Unlike the Vishwakarma Scheme, the DMK government's programme does not discriminate people on the basis of caste, but encourages caste inclusivity, the CM said at the launch of his government's version in Kundrathur.
"The Vishwakarma Scheme encourages family-based professions by making the youth take up their ancestral trade without having to pursue higher studies. The government's duty should be to bring the youngsters to portals of learning and not discourage them from education or make them take up family trade," Stalin said.
