The Namo Drone Didi scheme, launched by the Government of India in November 2023, has a budget of ?1,261 crore. It aims to deploy agricultural drones to 15,000 Women Self-Help Groups (SHGs) by 2025?26. This initiative addresses three key issues in Indian agriculture: health risks from manual pesticide use, crop yield losses of 20 to 40% due to imprecise spraying, and a shortage of rural labour caused by urban migration. Under a Drone-as-a- Service model, trained SHG members offer aerial spraying for ?350 to 450 per acre, with projected annual incomes of at least ?1 lakh. The field data show that Kisan drones can cover an acre in just seven to eight minutes. They also cut water use by 80 to 90% and reduce pesticide use by 30 to 40% compared to manual methods. Research indicates a 30% drop in production costs and a 41% rise in net farmer income. Beyond these benefits, the scheme empowers rural women as DGCA-certified agri-tech entrepreneurs, promoting economic participation and gender equity in Indian agriculture.
