Launched on&nbsp;<strong>September 17, 2023<\/strong>, during Vishwakarma Jayanti at the India International Convention and Expo Centre in Dwarka, New Delhi, this scheme reflects the government&#8217;s commitment to supporting traditional craftsmanship. Approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs, chaired by PM Modi on&nbsp;<strong>August 16, 2023<\/strong>, the PM Vishwakarma Yojana aims to uplift individuals skilled in various traditional crafts, thereby preserving India\u2019s rich cultural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.pib.gov.in\/WriteReadData\/userfiles\/image\/11111MXNR.jpeg\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The scheme targets a vital segment of the workforce engaged in the informal or unorganised sector, where artisans\u2014referred to as&nbsp;<strong>Vishwakarma<\/strong>\u2014work with their hands and tools in occupations such as blacksmithing, goldsmithing, pottery, carpentry, and sculpting. These skills are often passed down through generations, adhering to the&nbsp;<strong>guru-shishya<\/strong>&nbsp;model of mentorship and training, which fosters the continuity of age-old traditions. By enhancing the quality and market accessibility of artisans\u2019 products, the PM Vishwakarma Yojana seeks to integrate these skilled individuals into both domestic and global value chains.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its launch, the scheme has garnered remarkable interest, with&nbsp;<strong>25.8 million applications<\/strong>&nbsp;submitted.

Moreover, nearly&nbsp;<strong>1 million registered artisans<\/strong>&nbsp;have benefited from toolkit incentives of up to&nbsp;<strong>Rs 15,000<\/strong>&nbsp;through e-vouchers, enabling them to acquire modern tools that enhance their craftsmanship.
