Varun
Dhawan and Anushka Sharma, through their much awaited film ‘Sui Dhaaga - Made
in India’ are saluting India’s entrepreneurs and skilled workforce, especially
homegrown artisans, craftspeople and weavers who are making the country proud
the world over. Dhawan plays a tailor named Mauji and Anushka plays his wife
and embroiderer Mamta. Innocent yet ambitious, they dream big of making a name
for themselves.
The
Sui Dhaaga stars have been signed on to promote and endorse the Skill India
Mission, chaired by the Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. The film
highlights the untapped potential of India’s talented craftsmen and skilled
workers at the grassroot level and the challenges and issues faced by them.
Varun and Anushka, the star cast of the film, have partnered Skill India and
will dedicate time to promote India’s skilled talent and their fine work by
engaging with them across different parts of the country.
Speaking
about this association, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan, Minister of Petroleum and
Natural Gas and Minister of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, said,
“Varun Dhawan and Anushka Sharma, through this unique film Sui Dhaaga - Made in
India, are bringing to focus the incredible skills and talent of our homegrown
artisan and craftsmen community. It is really heartening to see actors like them
doing a film that has such a significant social message. India is one of the
youngest countries in the world; and it is a matter of great pride for us to
see such dedicated and passionate skilled youth with entrepreneurial skills in
our country who are bringing name and fame to the nation with their work.”
“I
wish this endorsement by both actors encourages and influences the youth to
take up skill training and earn a better livelihood for themselves and help us
in creating the New India envisioned by Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra
Modi,” he further added.
Led
by the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE), Skill India
aims to standardize vocational training — both new-age and traditional skills
—, helps in creation of latest infrastructure, ensures industry partnerships to
extend technology support to make the youth more employable and assists in
creating opportunities of employment for the youth of our country. This has led
to more than 1
crore youth joining the Skill India Mission every year and transforming their
lives through better livelihood.
Varun
Dhawan said, “Prime Minister Modi has displayed incredible vision and genuine
foresight in aiming to organise, skill, train and give financial support and
backing to our craftsmen, artisans and similar workmen. We are proud to be
promoting this campaign that we feel extremely close to like our movie Sui
Dhaaga that celebrates self-reliance and entrepreneurship’’
Anushka
Sharma added, “Skill India Campaign reflects the government’s determination to
include and support the talented skilled force of the country. While making Sui
Dhaaga, we came across so many stories of talented, skilled crafts people and
artisans who don’t get a fair chance to showcase their talents.”
The
Skill India Campaign has brought about multiple policy interventions though its
Skill Development and Entrepreneurship Policy, comprehensive changes in the
Apprenticeship Act of 1961 and introducing the Pradhan Mantri Kaushal Vikas
Yojana (PMKVY) which together aims to provide best-in-class training to our
workforce and formally recognize their skills. MSDE’s Recognition of Prior
Learning (RPL) program under PMKVY recognizes the skills and experience gained
through years of working, bringing about a major shift from un-organized sector
to the organized sector.
