To turn India into a drone skill hub, it will need at least one lakh
drone pilots by 2023, Union Minister for Youth Affairs & Sports,
Anurag Singh Thakur said on Tuesday.
The Union Minister
was here to flag off drone start-up Garuda Aerospace's Drone Yatra and
inaugurate the company's first Virtual E-Learning platform at Agni
College of Technology near here.
Thakur, who is also the Union
Minister for Information & Broadcasting, said Kisan/farmer drone is
the beginning of the new age developments in the agricultural sector and
this will not only impact farmers but also create employment for
various others.
He also recalled how drones were used to deliver farm inputs during the Covid-19 pandemic in Himachal Pradesh.
Garuda
Aerospace's Drone Yatra called 'Operation 777' is for educating and
demonstrating the efficacy of the drones in agriculture in 777 Indian
districts.
Thakur also flew a drone to gain firsthand experience
on operation, and handed over 10 drones to young entrepreneurs who have
decided to become drone service providers.
"Our Drone Yatra will
help farmers understand more about the technology and give them a better
perspective on growing crops," Agnishwar Jayaprakash, Founder and CEO,
Garuda Aerospace said.
