Centre has approved a scheme in which Self Help Groups (SHGs) will be provided financial assistance to purchase drones for agricultural purposes (spraying nutrients & pesticides). Centre will provide financial assistance at 80% of the cost of drones. For example, if the cost of drone is Rs. 10 lakh and a SHG is purchasing a drone then Centre will give Rs. 8 lakh and then this drone can be rented by the SHGs to farmers and they (SHGs) can earn rental income.
