In the letter, the Chief Minister praised his traditional skill of crafting clay lamps and various types of idols. Expressing his delight upon receiving the Chief Minister’s congratulatory letter, Shri Prajapati said that the recognition of the skills of traditional artisans is a matter of pride and encouragement. Shri Munnalal, a resident of Mungeli, explained that crafting beautiful clay lamps, idols of gods and goddesses, and various useful items is his traditional skill. The financial support received from the Pradhan Mantri Vishwakarma Yojana has opened a new avenue for his traditional business to flourish.
He explained that he received a loan of Rs. 1 lakh at a 5% interest rate under the Pradhan Mantri Vishwakarma Yojana. This amount has helped him arrange the necessary resources for his pottery business and manage his operations efficiently.
