J&K | Attended the launch of PM Vishwakarma Scheme at Srinagar. Grateful to PM Narendra Modi Ji for the transformative initiative. The scheme will directly benefit thousands of artisans and craftspeople of J&K UT working with their hands and tools: Lt Guv Manoj Sinha

The Scheme honours traditional skills of craftspeople for their exemplary commitment & dedication. It will ensure the Vishwakarmas are provided with financial assistance, skill upgradation and they are integrated with national & global value chains: LG

Our outstanding artisans with creativity & hard work have not only preserved the priceless heritage, diverse culture & traditions but also kept the wheels of socio-economic growth moving. These hardworking hands are the strength of the progressive society: LG

Traditionally, Vishwakarmas are considered as the drivers of growth. They are personification of artistic power, lord of the arts, creator of diverse crafts & builders of enterprises. I am confident PM Vishwakarma Scheme will bring revolutionary transformation in their lives: LG
