For the first time, 100 traditional artisans supported under the PM Vishwakarma scheme will watch the Independence Day celebrations from the Red Fort as special guests. Businesstoday.in reports that the beneficiaries from Delhi-NCR include tailors, carpenters, goldsmiths, and women artisans, reflecting a push to recognise India's craft heritage and women's participation in livelihoods. The scheme, which has registered 30 lakh artisans and craftspeople so far, provides skill training, toolkits, and market access. The Red Fort invitation follows benefits such as registration and basic training for the workers.
