Three-Day Market Access Initiative Launched for Artisans at Chandigarh's Sukhna Lake
A three-day pilot market access initiative was launched at Chandigarh's Sukhna Lake from September 3 to 5, providing five artisans registered under the PM Vishwakarma Scheme dedicated stalls to sell their handcrafted products directly to tourists and locals. Coordinated by the MSME Development and Facilitation Office, Ludhiana, and the UT tourism department, the program aims to enhance income opportunities, promote traditional crafts, and reduce reliance on intermediaries. A Udyam registration stall was also set up to assist local entrepreneurs with enterprise formalization.
