Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent discussion with Bill Gates brought to light the ‘Namo Drone Didi’ scheme, a visionary project that’s reshaping the digital landscape of India. The scheme is a bold step towards eliminating the digital divide and empowering women through technology.
PM Modi’s commitment to digital public infrastructure has been instrumental in the scheme’s success. Women across India are being trained as drone pilots, a profession once thought to be beyond their reach. “I have started the ‘Namo Drone Didi’ scheme…This is going on very successfully,” said PM Modi. The participants, many of whom had never imagined piloting drones, are now at the forefront of this technological revolution.
The scheme is a reflection of India’s progressive approach to digital inclusion and women’s empowerment. It’s a celebration of new opportunities and the breaking of traditional barriers, as India takes flight towards a more equitable and technologically advanced future.
