In a small village in China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, Nurimengul Qasim is literally flying high. With the help of a local economic growth initiative, she’s become her village’s first female drone operator – and she’s changing the game for farmers. 🌾✨
Qasim uses her drone to spray pesticides and fertilizers over crops, a job that used to take days by hand. Now, she covers vast fields in hours, earning extra income for her family while helping neighbors boost their harvests. 🚜💨 \"It’s like playing a video game, but with real-life rewards,\" she laughs.
Her story isn’t just about tech – it’s a win for rural innovation and women’s empowerment. Local workgroups supported her training, proving that even traditional farming communities are embracing 21st-century solutions. 📈🌟 Who said drones are just for deliveries?
