Chennai-based drone start-up Garuda Aerospace has pledged to manufacture 6 lakh drones and create 6 lakh jobs by 2025 under its Kisan Drone initiative.
This will aid the farmer fraternity with technology and solutions for spraying of insecticides, pesticides and fertilisers and would help them to keep away from life-threatening medical disorders and diseases.
Garuda Aerospace’s Kisan Drone manufacturing facilities in Gurgaon and Chennai were recently inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. As part of this launch, the Prime Minister also flagged off the Kisan Drone Yatra which witnessed 100 drones taking off simultaneously across 100 Indian villages.
Garuda Aerospace’s ‘Drone as a Service’ model will help farmers save up to 80 percent water usage, and 90 percent less pesticides and takes less time to cover large farming areas. With an increased precision level of approximately 75 percent, it has also been observed that usage of Kisan Drones has led to an increase of crop yield by 60 percent and reduction of crop loss by 20 percent.
Garuda Aerospace’s affordable drone-based solutions are backed by hardware, software and analytical tools that will improve efficiency and reduce cost for the agriculture industry.
