In a recent dialogue with Bill Gates, Prime Minister Narendra Modi shed light on an innovative scheme that’s taking India’s digital revolution to new heights. The ‘Namo Drone Didi’ scheme is a groundbreaking initiative aimed at empowering women through technology, particularly in the field of drone piloting.
PM Modi expressed his determination to prevent a digital divide in India, emphasizing the importance of digital public infrastructure. The scheme has been met with overwhelming success, with women who had little to no experience with technology becoming adept drone pilots. “They say that they didn’t know to ride a bicycle but they are now pilots and can fly drones,” shared PM Modi, reflecting on the transformative impact of the scheme.
The ‘Namo Drone Didi’ scheme is not just about technological training; it’s about changing mindsets and empowering women to take control of their futures. It’s a clear indication of India’s commitment to embracing the digital age with open arms and ensuring that its benefits reach every corner of society.
