Empowering Artisans with the Pehchan Card Initiative
The Pehchan card is a crucial initiative by the Development Commissioner (Handicrafts), Ministry of Textiles, to register and recognize artisans across the country. It serves as a national identity card for handicraft artisans, providing a gateway to numerous benefits and schemes offered by the government.
This program aims to build a comprehensive database of artisans, understand their needs, and ensure that support reaches them directly, preserving India's rich craft heritage.
