Centre wants to turn India into global drone hub: DRDO chairman

Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) chairman Dr G Satheesh Reddy Saturday said the Centre wants to turn India into a global drone hub.

Speaking at the inauguration of Aero Innovation and Skill Centre (AISC) in Bengaluru, Reddy said: “As far as the drone sector is concerned, India is working on its application in defence and civilian sectors. We need to hand-hold the youngsters to boost innovations and the AISC is a way forward. The government is clear that everything should be made in the country and Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s call is very clear that we should make world-class products so that the world looks up to us.
