Think about drones — it's a cool gadget, right? It serves various purposes, such as filming Tom Cruise hanging down a plane in Mission Impossible! What could be cooler? The answer is using drones for the people who feed our stomachs.
Garuda Aerospace, a Chennai-based drone start-up, recently announced its plans to produce 1 lakh Kisan drones by 2024. The Kisan drones, designed specifically for agricultural use, will greatly benefit Indian farmers by providing efficient and cost-effective solutions for crop monitoring and management.
Agnishwar Jayaprakash, the Founder and CEO of Garuda Aerospace, says, "The drone yatra will help farmers understand more about the technology and give them a better perspective on growing crops." The production of 1 lakh Kisan drones will create employment opportunities across 6 lakh Indian villages and contribute to the government's goal of doubling farmers' income by 2022.
Furthermore, the widespread use of Kisan drones in agriculture will help India achieve food security and self-sufficiency in the long run. India is a developing country, and it dreams to be a $3 trillion economy soon. The drone market is expected to cross $5 billion by 2024, and it requires at least 1 lakh drone pilots by next year.
In conclusion, the production of 1 lakh Kisan drones by Garuda Aerospace is a welcome development that will greatly benefit Indian farmers and the agriculture industry as a whole. It is a step towards modernizing the sector and improving the livelihoods of farmers.
