The newly elected Bharatiya Janata Party-led Indian government, in its cutting-edge Namo Drone Didi Scheme, has taken up a quest to empower women from rural India to enhance agricultural productivity by using drones. The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, recently announced a policy whereby women coming under Self-Help Groups (SHGs) could become ‘drones’ to offer agriculture services like crop monitoring, spraying pesticides and collecting data. The government through this program aims to bring modernization in rural agriculture and enhance the socio-economic level of women, which in turn will facilitate general development in rural societies.
