The PM Vishwa Karma Project, a scheme that envisages enhancing the accessibility and quality of products and services offered by traditional artisans and craftsmen in the country, will play an important role in providing support to people engaged in traditional crafts, says External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar.
Speaking after participating as chief guest at the ‘PM Vishwakarma’ event in Thiruvananthapuram, he said the Vishwakarmas had left a clear mark on preserving the culture and traditions of the country through their crafts.
The Vishwakarma scheme would enable traditional artisans to go to the market and spread their goods. While praising the hard work, dedication, and ability of traditional artisans to understand the minds of the people and produce handicraft products, he said that the scheme would not only provide financial assistance to Vishwakarmas but would also provide training and market opportunities.
