The Tripura government on Thursday announced the setting up of a drone centre at the Tripura Institute of Technology (TIT) to train students in drone technology.
The announcement was made in the proposed budget for 2022-23 tabled by deputy chief minister and finance minister Jishnu Devvarma.
He presented a Rs 26,892.67-crore tax-free budget that has seen an increase of over Rs 4,000 crore over last fiscal’s budget estimates.
Tripura is the second state after Arunachal Pradesh trying to cash in on the opportunities being provided by the fast-emerging drone sector.
