Agri Drone Services

Agriculture and allied sectors contributes approximately 14% to our GDP and 49.6% of labor force in the country. Importance of agriculture is higher in rural areas with 57% of rural population employed in the sector and 60% of the households dependent on it. Mechanization level in India is about 40-45% with states such as UP, Haryana and Punjab having very high mechanization levels and the north-eastern states having negligible mechanization. Overall industry value is estimated at approximately US$ 6.5 billion. Traditional farming methods are giving away to SMART FARMING with futuristic technology adoptions. In coming two decades, the world will witness a transformation through SMART Farming Revolution.

Agriculture has to look towards emerging technologies for solutions to overcome some of the challenges faced. One of the latest developments is the increase in the use of small, unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), commonly known as Drones, for agriculture. Drones are remote controlled aircraft with no human pilot on-board. Drones are used in various fields ranging from the military, humanitarian relief, disaster management to agriculture. Drones have a huge potential in agriculture
in supporting evidence-based spraying, planning and in spatial data collection.
