The Vishwakarma Shram Samman Yojana is an initiative by the Uttar Pradesh government aimed at enhancing the skills and livelihoods of traditional artisans. It provides benefits such as free skill training, a toolkit grant, and access to concessional loans. The program targets various artisan trades, including tailoring and pottery, to promote self-employment and economic growth in both urban and rural regions of the state. Chief Minister Yogi Aditya Nath introduced this scheme as part of broader efforts to boost local industries and employment.
