What is Vishwakarma Shram Samman UP?
The State scheme for traditional artisans and workers, first notified by Government Order No. 34/2018/997/18-2-2018-19(ल0उ0)/2017 of 26 December 2018 (amended on 18 June 2020) and expanded in version 2.0 to 25 traditional and modern trades.
Eligible applicants get 10 days of free, practical, non-residential training, with ₹500 a day (₹5,000 for the 10 days) paid to the trainee by DBT, and after training an advanced toolkit worth up to ₹15,000.
Trained beneficiaries can also take a loan for a project of up to ₹10 lakh — without collateral and without interest — for setting up or expanding a unit, technology upgrades, quality improvement or packaging, with a 15% margin-money subsidy.
Male applicants in the general category contribute 10% of project cost; women, third-gender persons, divyangjan, ex-servicemen and other categories contribute 5%.
Applicants must be residents of Uttar Pradesh, at least 18, and must not have received a toolkit in the last two years; for the loan they must also not be defaulters and must not have had benefits under another Central or State subsidy scheme.
The Government Order for version 2.0 (2026-27) does not open on the State portal, so its number and date are still to be confirmed.
