EMPOWERING OUR ARTISANS FOR ROBUST GROWTH

The Prime Minister Vishwakarma Yojana, which was launched on Sunday to strengthen traditional artisans and craftspeople, will not only have an affirmative impact on the lives of millions of Indians, but also contribute enormously to economic growth.

The ₹13,000 crore allocation made to the scheme is a recognition of the immense contribution of our traditional and skilled artisans and craftsmen toward nation-building, and the economic potential of this sector.

The Vishwakarma Yojana aims to empower our craftsmen by improving the quality and reach of their products and services. It will also revive their skills, not just to conserve India’s rich cultural heritage, but also to provide them with a dignified source of livelihood.

The scheme will provide a conducive environment for artisans and craftspeople working with their hands and tools to enable them to deliver better, facilitate access to modern tools, technology and markets, and onboard them into the fast-evolving world of digitalization.
