The central government runs several schemes that benefit different sections of the population. One such initiative launched in 2023 is the Pradhan Mantri Vishwakarma Yojana, which aims to support artisans and craftsmen.

Beneficiaries who complete basic training under the scheme are eligible to take a loan of up to ₹ 1 lakh. Those who have already taken a loan of ₹ 1 lakh and successfully managed it can apply for an additional loan of up to ₹ 2 lakh. To get the loan, beneficiaries have to ensure that they are using digital transactions in their business.
