India’s agricultural sector has often not stored tempo with new know-how, relying largely on conventional strategies.
However start-ups specialising in drone know-how try to alter that – one farm at a time.
These firms are encouraging farmers to make use of drones to observe the well being of crops and spray them with fertiliser and pesticides. The development comes amid the federal authorities’s bold plan to make India a hub for drones by 2030.
The BBC’s Arunoday Mukharji travelled to Kancheepuram district within the southern state of Tamil Nadu to grasp how farmers are adapting to working with the system on their fields.
