In the past 10 years, the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government has provided “Suvidha, Suraksha, Samman” to the women of India. Thoughtfully designed schemes like Ujjwala for gas connection, Swachhata for women’s toilets and Jal-Jeevan for tap water in homes have not only simplified the lives of women but also provided them with a sense of self-confidence along with self-respect.
Believing in the Naari Shakti, the PM has also given women a leading position in India’s development journey. NaMo Drone Didis scheme is one such scheme in this direction which is empowering the rural women and improving India’s agriculture sector.
The ‘Namo Drone Didi’ scheme is proving to be a game changer for rural livelihoods and overall social development by empowering women and boosting the rural economy. Under this scheme, the government had set a target to provide 14,500 drones to women self-help groups (SHGs) by 2026 by investing Rs 1,261 crore. The scheme is being run under the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana – National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM) and aims to better manage crops and create sustainable income generation opportunities for women in rural areas.
