MIT’s Jonathan Fleming meets Namo Drone Didis, hails women empowerment in India. India is using technology for women empowerment which is an inspiration for not only women in rural areas in the country. Other countries can learn from this concept, Professor Jonathan Fleming, senior lecturer, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Sloan School of Management in the US, said on Saturday. He appreciated the efforts of the government and remarkable achievements in women empowerment. He also visited the Drone Robotic and Machine Learning Centre of IRAI, where he saw different types of drones developed by the institute and how they are making difference in the traditional farming with the use of technology. He found this technological development very interesting and said that India is not only transforming the present agriculture system but also investing in the future. He said that 100 per cent beneficiaries of the drone incentive scheme in the U.S. are men, while in India, it’s totally opposite as all the beneficiaries are women which is a great example of how India is use technology for empowerment of women.
