New Delhi, 18th Jan: The Ministry of Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSME) is set to host the PM Vishwakarma Haat 2026, a dedicated exhibition celebrating the traditional skills of India’s artisans. The event will be held at Dilli Haat, INA, from January 18 to 31, 2026, and will be open to the public daily from 10:30 AM to 10:00 PM.
The exhibition will be inaugurated tomorrow by Shri Jitan Ram Manjhi, Union Minister for MSME, in the presence of Minister of State for MSME, Sushri Shobha Karandlaje. Reflecting the spirit of “Vishwakarma Ka Abhiyaan, Viksit Bharat Ka Nirman”, the event aims to provide a robust platform for beneficiaries of the PM Vishwakarma Scheme to exhibit and market their handcrafted products to a wider audience.
Pan-India Representation and Global Outreach More than 117 artisans from various States and Union Territories will participate, offering a diverse display of India’s cultural heritage. The event will feature not only product exhibitions but also live craft demonstrations and cultural experiences. To enhance global visibility and open new market avenues, representatives from foreign missions have also been invited to attend.
Empowering the Grassroots The primary goal of the Haat is to improve market access and create sustainable livelihood opportunities for traditional craftspeople. By connecting these artisans directly with national and international buyers, the government reinforces its commitment to preserving traditional skills and strengthening the MSME ecosystem.
