The state government is promoting the use of drones in agriculture as part of farm modernisation and training youths in operating them.
In a recent cabinet meeting, the government approved the implementation of the “Skill Development Scheme” in agricultural mechanisation.
Under this scheme, drone schools are being set up to increase the use of modern equipment In the next three years, 6,000 youths from farmer families will be trained to operate large drones in farming.
This will help them to be self-employed. For this, about Rs 23 crore has been allotted. The first drone school in the state has opened in Gwalior. Schools are also to start in Indore, Bhopal, Jabalpur, and Satna.
