The PM Vishwakarma Yojana is designed to unlock the true potential of the Vishwakarma Community by providing them with opportunities for skill development and entrepreneurship. Minister of State for Social Justice and Empowerment A. Narayanaswamy said this in the inaugural function of PM Vishwakarma Yojana at Puducherry on 17th September 2023. He said, this community has immense talent, creativity, and craftsmanship but often lacks access to modern training and resources. He stated that PM Vishwakarma Yojana aimed to bridge that gap and empower them with the necessary financial assistance knowledge and skills to thrive in today's competitive world. He informed that under the scheme thirty lakh artisans would get benefits in the next five years for which a budget of 13,000 crore rupees has been allocated.

Mr. Swamy expressed hope that the scheme would empower the Vishwakarma Community socially and economically. Through this scheme we were providing a platform for Vishwakarma artisans and workers to flourish and contribute to the nation's progress, he concluded.

Chief Minister N. Rangasamy presided over the function. He expressed his birthday wishes to the Prime Minister and informed that the new schemes introduced by the Prime Minister would help make tremendous progress in the country.
