2 artisans from Ri Bhoi district Smti Biona Ryntathiang & Smti Probina Lyngkhoi, certified under the prestigious PM Vishwakarma scheme, have been invited to witness the Republic Day Parade in Delhi on 26th January 2025. These artisans, who have successfully completed basic training in their respective trades, represent the program’s mission to enhance skills, improve product quality, and expand market access.
PM Vishwakarma (PMV) scheme aims to enhance artisans’ skills, product quality and market access, integrating them into global value chains. PMV is implemented through a three-tier framework at the national, state and district levels, with real time monitoring and support. It provides collateral free credit with interest subvention, incentives for digital transactions and a platform for brand promotion and market linkages.
This recognition highlights the artisans’ dedication and the transformative impact of the PMV initiative on traditional trades in Meghalaya.
