Carpenters account for the most registrations in the state at 45,958, followed by masons at 38,450. Over 62,000 loans have been sanctioned in Rajasthan and 2,17,084 e-vouchers issued for toolkit support.

Eligible artisans get toolkit support of up to ₹15,000 and loans of up to ₹3 lakh at a concessional interest rate. Nationally, more than 6.23 lakh loans worth about ₹5,350 crore have been sanctioned and over 26.17 lakh toolkit e-vouchers issued.
