Namo Drone Didi Yojana 2026: SHG Se Selection, 15 Din Ki Training Aur ₹8 Lakh Tak Ki Madad — Zameeni Sach

Last Updated: 15/08/2026

Gaon ki mahila drone uda rahi hai aur kisan usko paisa de raha hai spray ke liye — do saal pehle yeh baat kisi ko sunao toh hansta. Aaj yeh ho raha hai, aur sarkari record mein ho raha hai. Is saal ke Republic Day parade mein isi programme ka tableau pehla inaam jeeta, aur Budget 2026-27 mein iske parent mission ka paisa 20% badha kar ₹17,280 crore kar diya gaya. Matlab saaf hai — yeh scheme kahin jaa nahi rahi, aur iska agla vistaar aa raha hai.

Lekin internet par iske baare mein aadhi-adhoori aur kai jagah seedhi galat jankari bhari padi hai — sabse badi galti yeh ki “portal par form bharo aur drone le lo.” Aisa koi form exist hi nahi karta. Humare paas bhi WhatsApp pe yahi sawaal baar-baar aata hai — didi form kahan bharein? Toh seedha jawab: form nahi, rasta alag hai. Is guide mein wohi asli rasta hai: selection kaise hota hai, training ka structure, paise ka poora hisaab, kamai ka realistic andaza, aur woh baatein jo koi nahi batata.

Aur haan — agar aap kisan ho aur sirf yeh jaanna chahte ho ki apne khet mein drone se spray kaise karwayein, kitna kharcha aayega — toh neeche uska bhi alag section hai. Yeh scheme dono taraf ke logon ke liye hai: jo service dena chahti hain, aur jo service lena chahte hain.

Yeh Scheme Hai Kya — Seedhi Bhasha Mein

Union Cabinet ne 28 November 2023 ko ise approve kiya aur PM ne 30 November 2023 ko launch kiya. Idea simple hai: Deendayal Antyodaya Yojana – National Rural Livelihoods Mission (DAY-NRLM) ke under jo lakhs mahila self-help groups pehle se registered hain, unme se chune hue groups ko agriculture drone ka poora package do — machine, training, support — aur woh apne ilaake ke kisano ko kiraye par spray service dein. Kisan ka fayda: haath se spray karne ke mukable tez, kam paani, kam dawai ki barbadi. Mahila ka fayda: ek naya, izzat wala aur technical rozgar.

Yeh Lakhpati Didi initiative ka hissa hai — wahi mission jiska maqsad 2 crore gramin mahilaon ki saalana ghar ki aamdani ₹1 lakh ke paar le jaana hai. Nodal ministry agriculture ki hai, lekin Rural Development, Fertilizers, Civil Aviation aur Women & Child Development — paanch departments milkar ise chalate hain. Fertilizer companies (jinhe Lead Fertilizer Companies ya LFC kehte hain) zameen par implementation mein lagi hain kyunki nano urea aur nano DAP ka spray hi iska sabse bada use-case hai.

Paise Ka Poora Hisaab — Table Mein

Selection Kaise Hota Hai — Asli Process

Yahi woh hissa hai jahan sab confuse hote hain. Koi bhi sarkari portal aisa nahi hai jahan aap “Drone Didi form” bhar sako. Selection upar se neeche aata hai:

1. 1
   Cluster identify hote hain: state agriculture department aur LFC milkar aise ilaake chunte hain jahan drone spray ka kaam economically chal sakta hai — yaani achhi-khaasi kheti wale blocks.
2. 2
   SHG shortlist hoti hai: un clusters mein DAY-NRLM ke under registered, achha track record wali women SHGs ki list State Rural Livelihood Mission banata hai. Bihar mein yeh JEEViKA ke through hota hai, har state mein uska apna mission hai.
3. 3
   Member ka chunav: selected SHG apne mein se ek member chunti hai pilot training ke liye — 18-65 age, 10th pass, aur kaam karne ka jazba. Ek aur member (ya uske parivar se koi) assistant/technician training ke liye.
4. 4
   Training + RPC: 15 din ka programme hota hai, jiske baad Remote Pilot Certificate milta hai — yeh DGCA ka official certificate hai, sirf is scheme ka kagaz nahi.
5. 5
   Drone handover: package SHG ko milta hai aur service ka kaam shuru — apne cluster ke kisano ke saath rate tay karke.

Toh aapke haath mein kya hai? Yeh: agar aap SHG member ho, apne block ke NRLM/livelihood mission office mein jaakar bolo ki hamara group interested hai — list banti rehti hai aur naye phase mein naam aa sakta hai. SHG mein nahi ho toh pehle judna padega. Gaon ke Common Service Centre ya block agriculture office se bhi apne district ka status pata chal jata hai. Waise apne state ki baaki yojanaon ka hisaab is list mein hai — har state ki kisan yojana list.

Training Mein Hota Kya Hai — 15 Din Ka Breakdown

Pehle 5 din DGCA-approved Remote Pilot Training Organisation (RPTO) mein katate hain — udaan ke niyam, safety, no-fly zones, simulator practice aur phir asli udaan. Pass hone par Remote Pilot Certificate milta hai jo poore desh mein valid hai. Agle 10 din kheti ka practical: kitni height se spray, kaunsi dawai ka kitna dilution, hawa ka rukh dekh kar flight plan, nano urea aur pesticide ke alag-alag protocols, aur battery management — jo field mein sabse zyada kaam aata hai.

Ek baat jo training se pehle sochni chahiye: drone chalana mushkil nahi hai, lekin dawai ka hisaab galat hua toh kisan ki fasal ko nuksan aur aapki reputation dono jayegi. Isliye 10 din wala agriculture hissa hi asli imtihaan hai. Jo didiyan spray chemistry ko seriously leti hain, unka kaam repeat customers se hi chal padta hai.

Kisan Ke Liye: Drone Se Spray Karwana Sasta Padta Hai Ya Mehnga?

Ab doosri taraf se dekho — aap kisan ho, aapke gaon mein Drone Didi aa gayi hai. Kya uski service leni chahiye? Seedha hisaab lagate hain, ek acre dhaan ke spray ka:

Yaani per-acre rate lagbhag barabar hai, lekin paani, dawai aur waqt teeno bachte hain — aur sabse badi cheez, pesticide se seedha contact khatam. Jo kisan lagatar spray khud karte hain, unke liye yeh sehat wali baat mazdoori se badi hai, bas koi ise ginta nahi.

1. 1
   Booking kaise karein: apne block ke agriculture office, KVK ya gaon ke CSC se pucho ki nazdeeki Drone Didi ya drone service provider kaun hai. Kai jagah fertilizer dealer (IFFCO/kisan seva kendra) bhi booking karwa dete hain kyunki nano urea spray unka hi kaam hai.
2. 2
   Rate pehle tay karo: per acre rate + aane-jaane ka kharcha alag hai ya nahi — yeh pehle poochh lo. Padosi kisano ke saath milkar 5-10 acre ka slot book karo toh rate aur girta hai, operator ka bhi time bachta hai.
3. 3
   Dawai ka dilution operator se milke tay karo: drone spray mein paani kam hota hai isliye concentration alag banta hai. Apni marzi se ghol banake mat do — label dose per acre wahi rehta hai, bas paani kam hota hai.
4. 4
   Mausam dekho: tez hawa ya dhoop ke peak time pe spray bekar jata hai. Subah ya shaam ka slot lo — achha operator khud yahi bolega, aur jo na bole usse savdhan raho.

Kamai Ka Ganit — Bina Hawa-Hawai Numbers Ke

Service rate ilaake ke hisaab se ₹300 se ₹500 per acre ke beech ghoomta hai. Drone ek acre 7-8 minute mein nipta deta hai, lekin din ka asli output batteries, khet ke beech ki doori aur mausam par depend karta hai — practically 20-25 acre ek achha din hai. Ab hisaab lagao: ₹400 average rate par 20 acre ka din matlab ₹8,000 gross. Isme se diesel/transport, battery charging, assistant ka hissa aur maintenance nikalo toh bhi season ke mahino mein achhi-khaasi kamai banti hai.

Lekin poora saal aisa nahi chalta — spray ki demand kharif aur rabi ke khaas windows mein hi hoti hai. Isliye samajhdar groups off-season ke liye bhi sochte hain: fertilizer companies ke demo contracts, survey ka kaam, ya aas-paas ke districts tak service badhana. Yeh bilkul waisa hi model hai jaise machine rental ka — CHC portal se tractor-machine kiraye par dene wala dhandha, bas yahan machine hawa mein udti hai.

Apne State Mein Kahan Puchein — Mission Ka Naam Har Jagah Alag Hai

Yeh chhoti si baat bahut logon ko atka deti hai — block office mein jaake “NRLM” bolo toh kai baar samne wala bhi confuse ho jata hai, kyunki har state ne apne livelihood mission ka apna naam rakha hua hai. Kaam sabka wahi hai. Kuch bade states ke naam yeh rahe:

Block level par ise dhoondhna ho toh Block Programme Manager (BPM) ya Community Coordinator se milo — yeh log SHG network ko roz handle karte hain aur inhe pata hota hai ki drone wale phase mein aapke block ka number aaya hai ya nahi. Panchayat bhavan ya block office mein inka baithna aam hai.

Ab Tak Ka Report Card

March 2026 mein sarkar ne Lok Sabha mein bataya ki ab tak 1,094 drones distribute ho chuke hain aur trained pilots mein Karnataka sabse aage hai. Target ke mukable yeh number abhi chhota hai — aur yahi aapke liye mauka hai. Jab scheme ka agla phase clusters badhayega, toh wohi SHGs aage rahengi jinhone pehle se apne block mission office mein interest dikhaya hoga. Budget 2026-27 ne DAY-NRLM ka allocation 20% badha kar iske vistaar ka ishara de bhi diya hai.

Kis SHG Ke Liye Yeh Sahi Hai — Aur Kiske Liye Nahi

1. 1
   Sahi hai agar: aapka group active hai, records saaf hain, ilaake mein kheti ka rakba achha hai, aur ek member aisi hai jo technical cheez seekhne mein sach mein interested hai — sirf naam ke liye nahi.
2. 2
   Sahi hai agar: group 20% wale hisse ka intezam soch sakta hai — chahe apne savings se, chahe AIF loan se. Yeh koi bahut bada amount nahi hota, lekin plan chahiye.
3. 3
   Mat socho agar: ilaake mein kheti kam hai ya pehle se 2-3 drone operators kaam kar rahe hain. Demand ke bina machine sirf dhool khayegi.
4. 4
   Mat socho agar: group ke andar jhagda hai ki drone kiske paas rahega. Yeh SHG ki asset hai — clear samjhauta pehle karo, machine baad mein lo.

Aur agar aapka interest drone se zyada paani-sinchai ke kharche bachane mein hai, toh micro-irrigation wali subsidy bhi dekh lo — drip aur sprinkler par 45-55% ki madad milti hai aur wahan individual kisan bhi apply kar sakta hai.

Likhna baad me aata hai, pehle samajhna padta hai. PM Kisan ka koi bhi update ho, pehle pmkisan.gov.in par khud dekhta hoon, phir do-teen jagah confirm karta hoon, tab yahan aata hai.
