Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Monday asserted that use of drones in the farm sector can generate about 50 lakh jobs in the vast rural segment in one year alone.
Gadkari said he has discussed with his two cabinet colleagues the need to draft a policy on using the drone technology in the farm sector. He was addressing farmers and others present at the closing ceremony of ‘Agrovision’ exhibition in Nagpur. The Lok Sabha MP from Nagpur is the chief patron of Agrovision, an annual summit on agriculture. Union MSME minister Narayan Rane visited the exhibition on Monday, while Union agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar had attended the inaugural function of the four-day event on December 24.
