NEW DELHI: During the 110th episode of his monthly radio show, Mann ki Baat, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that women's influence in the nation is reaching unprecedented levels of advancement in every field. Additionally, PM Modi stated that March 8, which is International Women's Day, is a chance to honour the contributions made by women's power to the nation's progress. "We will commemorate Women's Day on March 8th, which is a few days away. This unique day offers the chance to honour the contributions made by women's power to the nation's growth. According to the renowned poet Bharathiyar Ji, women's equality is a prerequisite for global prosperity. The PM stated that "Nari Shakti, or women's power, is reaching new heights of progress in every field." According to PM Modi, women in the nation have demonstrated their capacity for leadership in natural farming, water conservation, and cleanliness. "There isn't a single industry in the nation today where women are falling behind. Natural agriculture, water conservation, and cleanliness are the domains in which women have demonstrated their leadership skills. The usage of chemicals is causing harm to Mother Earth. Relief from this suffering is largely being provided by women's power in the country, the PM stated. The Prime Minister also emphasised the 'NAMO Drone Didi' programme, which was introduced by Prime Minister Modi a year ago, and stated that the programme had improved the lives of rural women. Who would have imagined that women from rural areas of our nation would also be piloting drones, only a few years ago? However, this is starting to happen now. These days, Drone Didi is a hot topic in every village; everyone is talking about it and chanting Namo Drone Didi. "Everyone is discussing them," he remarked. The Namo Drone Didi programme was introduced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year. Since then, several fertiliser companies—aside from IFFCO—have stepped forward to support women employed in self-help group initiatives like "Lakhpati didi" in order to empower them.One of the most significant initiatives to support women in the agriculture industry is the Pradhan Mantri Mahila Kisan Drone Kendras programme, which will see 15,000 drones deployed and turn women into "drone didis" (self-help groups). These SHGs receive training in drone maintenance and operation as part of the 'Drone Ki Udaan' programme. The Namo Drone Didi Scheme aims to equip 15,000 women's self-help groups (SHGs) with drones so they may hire them out to farmers, thus empowering them. During the radio programme, PM Modi also had a virtual conversation with Sunita Devi, a "Namo Drone Beneficiary" from Sitapur, Uttar Pradesh. The revolutionary impact of drones on agricultural practices and technological breakthroughs in farming was brought to light by Sita Devi.
