The Modi administration has launched the PM Vishwakarma Yojana to empower artisans by providing them with a formal identity and support.
The Prime Minister’s Vishwakarma Yojana, announced by the Modi government, aims to grant artisans a formal identity and a range of support services. Under the scheme, eligible craftsmen will receive a unique identification card that can be used to access financial services, training, and market linkages.
The identity card will enable artisans to open bank accounts, apply for loans, and participate in government procurement processes. Additionally, the program offers skill development workshops and assistance in setting up cooperative societies.
Registration is open across the country, with eligibility criteria based on the artisan’s occupation and proof of work. Local authorities will facilitate the enrollment process, and the government plans to cover over 10 lakh artisans in the first phase.
By formalizing the status of artisans, the scheme seeks to improve income security, promote entrepreneurship, and preserve traditional crafts for future generations.
