In Uttar Pradesh, government schemes offering free electricity and drone training are helping women achieve financial independence.
The state government’s initiative to provide free electricity to rural households has enabled women to power small enterprises and household businesses.
Alongside the electricity drive, a drone training program has been launched, allowing women to learn how to operate and maintain drones for agricultural monitoring and delivery services.
Participants report that the combination of reliable power and new technical skills has opened up income opportunities that were previously inaccessible.
Local officials say the schemes are part of a broader effort to boost women’s economic participation and reduce dependency on male labor.
