The Government today said that over 25 million applications have been submitted under the PM Vishwakarma Scheme since its launch. Out of these, more than 2 million applicants have successfully registered, following a thorough three-step verification process. The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises said that the scheme, which was launched last year in September with the aim of empowering artisans and craftspeople across India, has garnered remarkable interest. Nearly 1 million registered artisans have benefited from toolkit incentives of up to 15,000 rupees through these e-vouchers, enabling them to acquire modern tools that enhance their craftsmanship. The Ministry said that the PM Vishwakarma Scheme stands as a testament to the government’s dedication to revitalizing traditional crafts and supporting the artisans who embody the nation’s cultural diversity and heritage.
