Many women from Telangana, Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka showcased their drone flying capabilities as part of a nationwide event to hand over agricultural drones to women drawn from self-help groups under - ‘Namo Drone Didi’ scheme. Later, 108 women received their drone flying certificates which will allow them to fly the drones legally.
The scheme of the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilisers was virtually launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi across the nation. Hyderabad was among one of the 10 sites where the drone demonstration took place simultaneously.
“I believe that ‘Nari Shakti’ can lead the technological revolution of India in this 21st century. Today, we see in the IT sector, space sector, and science sector how Indian women are making their name. In the number of women commercial pilots, India ranks first in the world,” he said.
