The finer
makings of
an artist
Lekhraj, from Gangora village in Rajasthan's Bharatpur district, learned marble carving from his uncle after Class 10 and has worked as an artisan for 18 years, selling statues across several cities. As the sole earner for his family of seven, he also farms wheat and mustard. With support for registration under the PM Vishwakarma Yojana, he now benefits from skill training, credit, and market linkages to grow his craft and income.
