Drone Delivers Pension to Specially Abled In Odisha's Remote Nuapada District

In a unique initiative, a drone was used to deliver pension at a specially-abled person's doorstep, located in a remote village in Odisha's Nuapada district. Hetaram Satnami, a resident of Bhutkapada village under Bhaleswar Panchayat in the district, is a beneficiary of the State Government's Madhu Babu Pension Yojana. Earlier, Hetaram used to travel two kilometres to the village panchayat to collect his pension, despite his disabilities. On Saturday, to his utter surprise and disbelief, a drone came flying to Hetaram's doorstep, carrying his pension. (Video credit: PTI)
