NaMo Drone Didi Scheme: How Bharat Skytech Enables Women SHGs to Take Flight
India is at the cusp of a rural transformation, and at the heart of it is technology. One such initiative leading this transformation is the NaMo Drone Didi Scheme, launched by the Government of India to empower rural women and revolutionize farming practices. The scheme enables women Self-Help Groups (SHGs) to own and operate agricultural drones for spraying operations, offering them a new livelihood and helping farmers adopt efficient solutions.
While the scheme is widely appreciated for its vision, implementation at scale requires much more than intent. It requires a strong supply chain, reliable drone components, and consistent manufacturer support. That’s where Bharat Skytech comes in — not just as a drone component supplier, but as a backbone of this ecosystem. We play a strategic B2B role by enabling manufacturers to meet the rising demand from this initiative, ensuring quality drone parts reach every Drone Didi across India.
Understanding the NaMo Drone Didi Scheme
The NaMo Drone Didi Yojana is part of the DAY-NRLM (Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana – National Rural Livelihood Mission), with the goal to distribute agricultural drones to 15,000 women-led SHGs across the country. The scheme offers up to 80% subsidy, covering the cost of drone procurement, training, and maintenance, with financing support through the Agriculture Infrastructure Fund (AIF).
The primary objective is two-fold:
Empower rural women by providing them with a sustainable income model through drone-based spraying services.
Encourage modern farming practices using drone technology, reducing time, labor, and chemical wastage.
However, for every Drone Didi trained, a reliable drone must be delivered. And for every drone delivered, dozens of components must be sourced, assembled, and tested. This is where Bharat Skytech plays a vital role in supporting the supply side of the scheme.
Bharat Skytech’s Role in the NaMo Drone Didi Supply Chain
At Bharat Skytech, we are India’s trusted B2B supplier of agriculture drone components. We provide bulk order support to drone and system manufacturers who are building and deploying drones for the NaMo Drone Didi program. Our mission is to make the supply chain predictable, scalable, and high-quality so that women-led SHGs receive drones that are both affordable and dependable.
1. Bulk Procurement Support for Manufacturers
With thousands of drones required under the NaMo Drone Didi Yojana, manufacturers often face procurement challenges in scaling production quickly. Bharat Skytech solves this by placing bulk orders for key drone components, giving manufacturers the confidence to plan their assembly line and production schedules more efficiently.
We support drone OEMs and integrators by:
Reducing procurement lead times
Offering stable pricing for high-volume orders
Ensuring continuous availability of in-demand components
Reducing cash flow pressure by securing committed B2B demand
This B2B-first approach allows drone manufacturers to focus on engineering, assembly, and delivery while we ensure timely procurement and supply of essential drone parts.
2. Supplying Certified and Field-Tested Components
Every drone used in agriculture must be reliable, especially when operated by SHG members who may not have advanced technical training. Bharat Skytech ensures that only field-tested, quality-certified components are supplied to drone builders working under the scheme.
We provide:
All components are sourced from reputed Indian and global manufacturers, ensuring high performance in diverse agricultural conditions.
3. Enabling Make in India Through Strategic Partnerships
The NaMo Drone Didi initiative aligns strongly with the Government of India’s Make in India vision. At Bharat Skytech, we actively support this mission by sourcing and promoting indigenously manufactured drone components. We work with domestic manufacturers and provide them with stable demand through long-term procurement contracts.
Our partnerships empower component manufacturers to:
Invest in R&D and product improvements
Scale operations without fear of market fluctuation
Create more jobs within India’s drone manufacturing sector
In this way, Bharat Skytech not only supports Drone Didis but also strengthens India’s domestic manufacturing ecosystem.
4. Logistics and Delivery Support Across India
Even the best components are only valuable if they arrive on time. Bharat Skytech offers fast, reliable logistics support to manufacturers, ensuring that drone kits can be delivered to SHGs without delay. Our delivery system is designed to meet the needs of government-linked programs, with timely dispatch and complete tracking.
This logistical efficiency supports the rapid rollout of drones across districts, helping SHGs begin operations on time and start generating income through drone-based farm services.
Driving Real Impact with Scalable Solutions
The success of the NaMo Drone Didi program depends not only on the training and motivation of SHGs but also on the availability of reliable drones built with trusted components. Bharat Skytech is proud to be a key enabler behind the scenes, helping manufacturers deliver on the promise of the scheme.
As a result of these efforts:
SHGs receive drones that are ready-to-operate, with minimal technical hurdles
Drone manufacturers are able to fulfill large orders with confidence
The farming community benefits from precision spraying and modern agri-tech
India moves one step closer to achieving its vision of Atmanirbhar Krishi and women-led rural entrepreneurship
