Prime
Minister Narendra Modi is slated to engage in the 'Sashakt
Nari-Viksit Bharat' program today in Delhi, marking a significant
initiative towards women's empowerment. This program holds paramount importance
in PM Modi's vision of fostering economic growth and independence among women,
particularly in rural regions.
One
of the key highlights of the event will be the demonstration of agricultural
drones by the 'Namo Drone Didis' at the Indian Agricultural Research Institute.
These skilled women, representing 11 different locations nationwide, will
showcase their proficiency in operating drones for agricultural purposes. PM
Modi's keen interest in leveraging technology for agricultural development is
evident through his support for such initiatives.
Furthermore,
the 'Namo Drone Didi' initiative, along with the 'Lakhpati Didi' program,
underscores the government's commitment to empowering women across various
sectors. By promoting skill development and entrepreneurship among women, these
initiatives aim to create a more inclusive and self-reliant economy.
As
part of the program, PM Modi will distribute drones to 1,000 'Namo Drone
Didis', providing them with the necessary tools to enhance agricultural
productivity and efficiency. This distribution aligns with the broader
objective of integrating technology into agriculture to improve crop yields and
farmers' livelihoods.
Additionally,
the event will recognize the achievements of 'Lakhpati Didis' who have
succeeded with the support of the 'Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana - National Rural
Livelihoods Mission'. These women, through their hard work and determination,
serve as inspirations to others within their communities, fostering a culture
of entrepreneurship and economic empowerment.
In tandem with the empowerment initiatives, PM Modi will oversee the disbursement of bank loans totaling Rs 8,000 crore to self-help groups (SHGs) at subsidized interest rates. This financial support aims to strengthen the economic backbone of rural communities by providing access to capital for entrepreneurial ventures and small businesses.

of Rs 1 lakh crore, signify the government's commitment to enhancing
connectivity and fostering economic growth on a national scale.
Overall,
PM Modi's participation in the 'Sashakt Nari-Viksit Bharat program underscores
the government's dedication to advancing gender equality, economic empowerment,
and technological innovation for inclusive growth.
