NEW DELHI: One of India’s leading unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) training and manufacturing groups, Drone Destination (DD), has signed an MoU with IIT Patna to open Bihar’s first government-approved drone training hub.
DD is the state-run Indira Gandhi Rashtriya Udan Academy (IGRUA)’s partner for drone training and has several centres across India.
IIT Patna director T N Singh said: “Drones have a vast range of civil and defence applications, and will require a wide range of skilled talent pool to empower the industry. IIT Patna has been at the forefront of being a technology-first institution, and plans to develop a large Drone Centre of Excellence to propel the UAV ecosystem.
