Hry CM Saini inaugurates exhibition, outlines importance of craftsmanship

Chandigarh: Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini on Friday inaugurated a craft exhibition organised at the Kisan Bhawan in Sector 35 here.

On the occasion, the CM said handicrafts men will play an important role in Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision of making India a developed nation by the year 2047. “For this, the central government has launched the PM Vishwakarma Yojana, under which traditional artisans and craftsmen are being provided assistance by the government to enhance their products and services. Skill training is also being given to artisans. The Haryana government is taking forward the vision of the Prime Minister and is providing all kinds of facilities to craftsmen in the state,” he said.

Saini said the exhibition, organised by Craftroots Sansthan, has provided an excellent platform to artisans to showcase their art. The institution has imparted skill training to about 75,000 youth and women and made them skilled in various fields. He said India is a country of diversity where every province, every region and every community has its own unique art and craft tradition. “Craftroots Sansthan has made a commendable effort to bring all these traditions under one roof. This is not just a platform for exhibition but also a symbol of respect for artisans and craftsmen,” he added.
