In his address to the gathering, Yogi Adityanath remarked on the dual significance of the day, highlighting both the celebration of Lord Vishwakarma, regarded as the creator of the universe, and the birthday of Prime Minister Modi, whom he referred to as the architect of New India. His comments underscored the importance of the occasion in both spiritual and national contexts.

This includes providing them with essential facilities, affordable loan options, and training programmes to develop their skills.

Yogi Adityanath concluded his remarks by sharing warm greetings with the public on the occasion of Vishwakarma Jayanti. His call to honour Lord Vishwakarma and the artisans resonated as a message of appreciation for their invaluable contributions to the nation’s heritage and economy.
