The Namo Drone Didi Scheme aims to provide drones to 14,500 Women Self Help Groups (SHGs) under the Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana, with an outlay of ₹1,261 crore, to support agriculture activities from 2024-25 to 2025-2026.
80% of the drone cost (up to ₹8 lakh) will be funded by the government, with SHGs covering the remaining amount through loans under the National Agriculture Infra Financing Facility, while members receive 15-day drone pilot and agriculture-specific training.
