Addressing the gathering, MP Parimal Suklabaidya spoke about the importance of creating a skilled and self-reliant workforce to meet the demands of a rapidly evolving global economy. He said that, according to the government, under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the PM Vishwakarma Scheme aims to empower traditional artisans and craftspeople by providing skill development, financial assistance for toolkits, and collateral-free loans at subsidised interest rates.

“In today’s highly competitive world, India needs a workforce that is not only skilled but also self-reliant. The PM Vishwakarma Scheme provides a unique opportunity for our artisans and craftspeople to upgrade their skills, strengthen their livelihoods, and build a brighter future through financial support, toolkit incentives, and concessional loans,” he said.

The programme marked the successful completion of training by the beneficiaries, who were awarded certificates in recognition of the skills they acquired during the training period.

The programme concluded with the newly certified beneficiaries expressing confidence and enthusiasm about using their newly acquired skills for self-employment and entrepreneurship. According to the organisers, the implementation of the PM Vishwakarma Scheme in the district is intended to contribute towards the goal of building a skilled and self-reliant workforce.
