Namo Drone Didi Scheme for Women SHGs
The Namo Drone Didi Scheme, launched in November 2024, aims to empower 14,500 Women Self Help Groups (SHGs) across India by providing drones and training for agricultural services, enhancing crop yield and reducing costs. Funded with ₹1261 crore, this initiative under the DAY-NRLM will run through 2026. SHGs receive an 80% subsidy on drone costs, with additional loan facilities and interest subvention. Drone packages include essential equipment and a 15-day training program. Overseen by an Empowered Committee and monitored through an IT-based system, this scheme promotes rural women’s livelihoods and strengthens agriculture through technology.
