Gorakhpur, September 17 - Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath celebrated Vishwakarma Jayanti, the birth anniversary of Lord Vishwakarma, by highlighting welfare schemes for artisans and craftsmen in Uttar Pradesh. The Chief Minister emphasized that a nation that respects its artisans is the one that progresses. Under Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership, the PM Vishwakarma Shram Samman Yojana has connected crafts with technology and new markets, leading to artisans' prosperity.
The Chief Minister noted that while craftsmanship was the basis of self-reliance for masons, carpenters, confectioners, and goldsmiths, it was neglected after independence. With Modi's guidance, over 3 crore people in UP have now found employment and self-reliance through craftsmanship and crafts. The Chief Minister also remarked that Vishwakarma, the craftsman of the universe, and Prime Minister Modi, the craftsman of New India, share a birthday on this day.
The CM extended greetings to Modi on behalf of the state people for his birthday. The program included the release of the Shri Vishwakarma Pujanotsav book, attended by a large number of people including the Mayor, MLCs, State Women's Commission Vice-Chairperson, and various local leaders.
