The Daily Guardian
|August 08, 2025
"Shuruaat mein ghar se bahar nikalna mushkil tha," she said in conversation with NewsX Executive Editor Megha Sharma.
From revolutionizing agriculture with drone technology to building independent livelihoods, women from rural India shared stories of grit, transformation, and empowerment at the We Women Want Conclave and Shakti Awards 2025, held in the capital on Thursday. Organized by NewsX, the event brought together 70 remarkable women from across the country, including "Drone Didis" and "Lakhpati Didis"—symbols of India's evolving rural economy powered by women.
The day began with an inspiring session featuring Drone Didis—women trained under the NaMo Drone Didi Yojana, a central government scheme aimed at helping 15,000 women-led Self Help Groups adopt drone technology in farming. Moderated by NewsX Senior Editor Devika Diwan, the session introduced the audience to Seema, Neeraj, Manisha Kumari, Vimla Kumari, and Ambika Rana, who spoke candidly about their journeys.
