Government will give 15000 drones to women farmers for use in farming

Farming has now become very easy with the modern machines used in farming. The government also gives heavy subsidies on these machines so that more and more farmers use them and increase the production of their crops. The most modern machine now being used in farming is drones, with the help of which many farming tasks are done instantly. The government is also promoting this drone technology among farmers. The government is promoting drones among women farmers through a special scheme.

Actually, under the scheme of making women millionaires, the government will give 15,000 drones to the women associated with “self-help groups”. The government will spend Rs 1261 crore for this scheme. Under the scheme, 15,000 drones will be given to women’s self-help groups during the financial year 2024-25 and the financial year 2025-26.

With the help of these drones, it will become straightforward to spray fertilizers and pesticides in the fields. To enable women to operate drones successfully, they will be given 15 days of special training from a recognized RPTO. The drone pilot will be given an honorarium of Rs 15,000 and the co-pilot will also be given Rs 10,000 under the scheme. With the help of this scheme, women of “Self Help Groups” will get an extra income of at least Rs 1,00,000 every year.
