As part of the Seva Pakhwada initiative, Chief Minister Dr. Pramod Sawant participated in a vibrant and meaningful programme held in Panaji, aimed at honouring and empowering traditional artisans across Goa. The event was organized by the Goa Handicraft, Rural & Small Scale Industries Development Corporation in collaboration with the Department of Handicraft, Textile & Coir.

At the heart of the celebration was the recognition of clay Ganesh idol makers — artists who continue to preserve one of Goa’s most cherished cultural traditions. These artisans were honoured for their dedication, creativity, and role in sustaining the heritage of handcrafted Ganesh murtis and related artifacts.

The Chief Minister also felicitated senior and leading producers in the handicrafts sector, acknowledging their contribution to both cultural preservation and economic development. As part of the event, tool kits were distributed under the Pradhan Mantri Vishwakarma Yojana, a central scheme focused on supporting skilled artisans and craftsmen across India with modern tools, training, and financial support.

Weavers, another key pillar of the traditional crafts sector, received looms and loan sanction letters to help enhance their livelihood opportunities. This gesture emphasized the government’s continued commitment to strengthening rural entrepreneurship and building a self-reliant ecosystem for skilled trades.

The event underlined the broader vision of Seva Pakhwada — not just as a celebration of service, but as a hands-on approach to enabling skill development, fostering local talent, and ensuring that cultural legacies are not only remembered, but actively supported and sustained. The presence and participation of the Chief Minister added weight to the occasion, reflecting the administration’s prioritization of inclusive growth and grassroots empowerment.

This celebration of traditional craftsmanship — from idol makers to weavers — serves as a reminder that Goa’s cultural vibrancy is deeply rooted in its artisan communities. Through initiatives like these, the state reaffirms its commitment to nurturing the hands that build, design, and inspire.
