Drone use not limited to pesticide spraying in agriculture sector: Govt
Union minister of civil aviation on Tuesday said the applicability of drone in the agriculture sector is beyond pesticide spraying and has tremendous scope in organic and natural farming as well.
Drone industry in India has grown 6-8 times in the last one-and-a-half years. The drone infrastructure set up in the country is “extremely robust” and an Indian case study of drones as pioneer in agriculture will be exhibited in the ongoing meeting of G20 agriculture working group.
India’s aim is to become a global hub for drones by 2030, for which an industry friendly policy including the Production Linked Incentive Scheme (PLI) is in place, he added.
