Together, we can further empower farmers, enhance food security, and create a brighter future for agriculture in India."
Aligning with the government's initiatives to modernize agriculture and empower rural communities, Airbots Aerospace's Surya Shakti 15L Drone perfectly complements the recently approved Central Sector Namo Drone Didi Scheme for providing Drones to Women Self Help Groups (SHGs). The scheme, with an outlay of Rs. 1261 Crore for the period from 2024-25 to 2025-26, aims to empower 15,000 selected Women SHGs by providing them with drones for agricultural purposes.
The Surya Shakti 15L Drone, with its advanced technology and farmer-centric design, aligns seamlessly with the objectives of this scheme, enabling SHGs to enhance their capabilities, generate additional income, and contribute to the advancement of the agriculture sector.
