Rural Women in Telangana and Uttar Pradesh Adopt Agricultural Drones Through Government Schemes
In Telangana and Uttar Pradesh, women from Self-Help Groups are adopting agricultural drones to improve farming efficiency and create new income sources. Training programs supported by government schemes, such as Namo Drone Didi, provide subsidized drones and technical skills to rural women. This technology reduces labor-intensive pesticide spraying and addresses health concerns. Both states highlight the growing role of women as drone pilots, supported by financial assistance and training initiatives aimed at empowering rural communities through modern agriculture.
