Petition Submitted to Ensure Smooth Implementation of PM Vishwakarma Yojana in Jogulamba Gadwal
Gadwal: Former district BJP president Ramachandra Reddy today submitted a formal petition to District Industrial General Manager Ramalingeshwar Goud, urging effective implementation of the Pradhan Mantri Vishwakarma Yojana in Jogulamba Gadwal district headquarters. The petition highlighted several challenges being faced by beneficiaries of the scheme in the district. Under the central government's Vishwakarma Yojana, various traditional artisans and craftsmen have registered online in Jogulamba Gadwal district. Some beneficiaries have even received training certificates. However, many are encountering severe difficulties in accessing financial assistance from banks, which is a crucial component of the scheme. In addition, complaints have emerged from several mandals where village secretaries are reportedly not assisting applicants properly, often stating that they have not received login access. This lack of administrative support is causing delays and confusion among applicants. Taking these issues into consideration, Ramachandra Reddy appealed to the District Industrial General Manager to ensure that the scheme is implemented smoothly and reaches all eligible beneficiaries without bureaucratic hurdles. The submission of the petition was accompanied by a group of prominent BJP leaders and supporters. Among those present were: Baligera Shiva Reddy, the BJP candidate who contested from Gadwal District OBC Morcha President Deva Das Senior BJP leaders Sanjeev Reddy and Dabbileti Narasimha Mandal presidents Gopal Krishna, Seshi, and Nagaraju, along with other local party activists and supporters. The group emphasized that if such grassroots-level issues are not resolved promptly, the very purpose of the Vishwakarma Yojana — which is aimed at empowering traditional artisans and boosting their livelihoods — would be defeated. Local leaders requested authorities to initiate coordination meetings with banks and village officials, provide technical support, and conduct awareness programs to facilitate the smooth implementation of the scheme. The BJP leaders concluded their representation with a call for immediate intervention from higher authorities, ensuring transparency and efficiency in delivering the benefits promised under the Pradhan Mantri Vishwakarma Yojana.

In MP's Neemuch, people moving towards prosperity, courtesy PM Vishwakarma Yojana
Neemuch: The PM Vishwakarma Yojana is proving to be pivotal in shaping the lives of the working class, particularly the craftsmen and artisans and also bringing them rich dividends in terms of financial benefits. The monetary aid, under the scheme, not only helps tide them over the crisis, particularly those stemming from the Covid era and other unforeseen situations, but also hopes to develop them as 'self-sustainable' units of growth. The main objective of the scheme is to strengthen the traditional artisans and craftsmen economically. In Madhya Pradesh's Neemuch, many beneficiaries from Dudarsi village spoke to IANS and shared the transformative impact of the welfare scheme on their lives. Gopal Gayri, a mason in Neemuch, said that he was imparted training for seven days and also given Rs 4,000 assistance. 'After the training, I was given a loan of 1 lakh rupees by the bank under PM Vishwakarma Yojana. I used this money for the house construction business and bought more materials. Our business has expanded. Today, our problems have reduced, and we are living a happy life,' he said. He, along with his family, also expressed gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the scheme. 'I have been working as a mason for the past 10 years, now I have got benefit from Pradhan Mantri Vishwakarma Yojana, thanks to PM Modi for this,' he said. A couple of other beneficiaries echoed similar tales of transformation and thanked the Modi government for bringing positive change in their lives. The PM Vishwakarma Yojana was launched by PM Modi on the occasion of Vishwakarma Jayanti, on December 17, 2023. Under the scheme, individuals are imparted training in traditional crafts and also assisted with monetary aid. Skill development training is provided to those employed in informal or unorganised sectors, including carpenter, blacksmith, mason, goldsmith, potter, tailor, barber, cobbler, sculptor, toy maker, etc.
