Dharmendra Pradhan – Union Minister:

On the occasion of Ravidas Jayanti purchased a traditional handmade footwear from Shri Lal Bahadur’s shop in Varanasi.

Highly skilled in his craft, Lal Bahadur ji from the Ravidas community is handcrafting comfortable, high-quality & genuine leather footwear for the last 40 years.

The handicraft industry and our local artisans are a vital cog in the vision of Aatmanirbhar Bharat.

I urge everyone to appreciate our local products and adopt the Vocal For Local mantra given by PM Shri Narendra Modi to encourage local craftsmen like Lal Bahadur ji.
