Indian drone developer Garuda Aerospace recently announced their receipt of 500 orders for his or her Kisan drone from ten fertilizer firms under PM Narendra Modi’s Drone Didi scheme, designed to support women-lead “Self Help Groups” and further using UAVs in India’s rapidly developing agricultural industry.
On the farm, the Kisan could be used for precision spraying of chemicals and fertilizers, along with reducing required water use (the discharge claims that they’ll increase yields by as much as 60% while reducing crop loss by 20%). It’s equipped with a full suite of AI, ML, and GPS sensors to offer farmers up-to-date accurate details about their fields.
Agnishwar Jayaprakash, Founder and CEO of Garuda Aerospace said, “Drones have the ability to rework farming and agriculture in India. At Garuda Aerospace, we’ve got been front runners advocating using agriculture drones for multiple proposes. The order of 500 Kisan drones is a win for us as an organization in addition to the agriculture economy. It can improve efficiency and enable farmers to harness the many advantages of this revolutionary technology. We’re confident that this partnership with the ten fertilizer firms under the NaMo Drone Didi scheme will go a good distance.”
