PM Vishwakarma Yojana: Check eligibility for 18 trades
The PM Vishwakarma Yojana, launched on 17 September 2023, provides training, toolkits, and cheap loans to traditional artisans and craftspeople. The central government scheme is open only to those engaged in 18 specific traditional trades.
Eligible trades include carpenters, boat makers, blacksmiths, hammer and toolkit makers, locksmiths, and goldsmiths. Potters, sculptors, stone carvers, cobblers, masons, and basket, mat and broom makers also qualify. Washermen, traditional doll and toy makers, barbers, garland makers, tailors, and fishing net makers are covered as well.
Beneficiaries receive multiple economic and technical benefits under the scheme.
Indian Opinion Analysis
The scheme's narrow definition of traditional trades excludes a vast number of informal workers, limiting its reach. It covers only 18 artisan categories, leaving out many who may also need support. The article lists eligibility but does not specify loan amounts, interest rates, or application deadlines, leaving potential applicants without key details. The next step for interested artisans is to check their trade against the list and seek further information on benefits from official channels.
