Pradhan Mantri Virasat Ka Samvardhan Scheme

Pradhan Mantri Virasat Ka Samvardhan (PM VIKAS) combines five existing schemes of Ministry of Minority Affairs (MoMA) viz. Seekho aur Kamao, USTTAD, Hamari Dharohar, Nai Roshni and Nai Manzil.

  • The scheme is being implemented from April 2022.
  • PM VIKAS is aligned to the 15th Finance Commission cycle period up to 2025-26.

Need

  • The traditional art forms and craft sector is dispersed, unorganized in nature, and artisans are often exposed to the vulnerabilities of informal employment.
  • Traditional artisans also face challenges in earning their livelihood, obtaining capital, accessing marketing support, design, and technology besides suffering due to asymmetric information on markets and government policies.
