Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off 100 Kisan drones in different cities and towns across India on Friday to spray pesticides in farms across the country as part of a special drive aimed at assisting farmers.

Speaking on the occasion, the Prime Minister said, “This is a new chapter in the direction of modern agricultural facilities of the 21st century. I am confident that this beginning will not only prove to be a milestone in the development of the drone sector but also will also open the sky to unlimited possibilities.”

Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman announced a major stimulus for agriculture and farming during the Budget 2022-23 announcement.

Specifically, Sitharaman stated that during the fiscal year 2022-23, the Centre will promote Kisan Drones, chemical-free natural farming, and public-private partnerships for the delivery of digital and high-tech services to farmers across the country.

Kisan Drones will be promoted for crop assessment, digitization of land records, and spraying of insecticides and nutrients, she said, emphasising the use of technology.

This is a new chapter in providing modern farming facilities in the twenty-first century, and it will not only prove to be a watershed moment in the drone industry’s development, but it will also open up inexhaustible possibilities, he said.

The prime minister stated that his government did not waste time worrying about opening up the drone sector, but instead put faith in India’s young talent and moved forward with a new mindset. In the Budget and policy measures, he said, his government has prioritised technology and innovation.
