He asked the party workers to raise awareness through outreach activities to achieve saturation of PM Vishwakarma scheme across the UT.
Emphasizing that BJP workers have always played a vital role in achieving the targets set by the party, Prajapati asked party cadre to reach out to the unreached and the needy people who are eligible under the scheme but have not availed the benefit so far. For this it is necessary to disseminate information and generate awareness about the same among the left out lot. Moreover, it is also necessary to interact with beneficiaries of PM Vishwakarma and other schemes and their personal success stories and experience with those who are yet to avail the benefit of the schemes.
He also highlighted salient features of the Vishwakarma Yojana asserting that it has the full potential of empowering the aspirants be it the youth including women or other artisans and crafts-persons.
