Haryana's Chief Minister, Nayab Saini, inaugurated the Skill and Drone Didi Yatra by AVPL International on International Youth Day. The initiative aims to equip 800 women, known as "Drone Didis," with specialized skills in drone operation and management, fostering self-employment and improved livelihoods. This initiative aligns with the government's Atmanirbhar Bharat objectives, promoting skill development and self-reliance in emerging sectors.
The Skill and Drone Didi Yatra will provide specialized drone training to rural and urban populations in Haryana. The Haryana government has allocated INR 54 crore for the 'Drone Didi' program, aiming to train 5,000 women by March 2025. 800 women from Self-Help Groups will receive drone pilot certification along with special training under AVPL International. Additionally, a special subsidy scheme of INR 8 lakh will cover 80 per cent of the drones and their equipment costs.
In addition to this, Haryana CM also launched the Saksham Yuva Yojana program, training 10,000 youth in advanced IT skills and distributing certificates to 20 drone entrepreneurs who completed the training through AVPL International. CM Nayab Saini mentioned," I am extremely pleased to be distributing pre-placement offer letters (to AVPL International's trained students) here today. This is an important step towards contributing skilled labor to the construction of a new India. I have complete confidence that our youth, equipped with these skills, will help build a resplendent India. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi has laid the foundation for an extraordinary India by connecting our youth, women, and farmers with drone skills, and AVPL's efforts in advancing this mission are commendable."
