Cevap
Statements 1 and 3 are correct.
Statements 1 and 3 are correct. PM Vishwakarma is fully funded by the Central Government as a Central Sector Scheme to preserve traditional skills and empower artisans working with hand tools across 18 designated trades. It provides beneficiaries with recognition (PM Vishwakarma Certificate and ID card), skill upgrading, toolkit incentives, and collateral-free enterprise development credit at a concessional interest rate of 5%. Statement 2 is incorrect because the Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) is the designated nodal ministry, working in joint implementation with the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship and the Ministry of Finance.
