The event was organised to promote the crafts and craftsmen of the world-renowned carpet city of Bhadohi. He also informed that the government has created new opportunities for the people through the recent free trade agreements with the UAE and the UK, which will help further growth.

While addressing a programme on the upliftment of crafts and craftsmen, the Chief Minister said that India’s traditional artisans and craftsmen have made a significant contribution to establishing India as a global economy. The Chief Minister said that checks for financial amounts were also provided to the beneficiaries of various schemes.

“I assure you that the government always stands with full commitment alongside traders and entrepreneurs,” he said.
