Imagine medicines and Covid vaccines being delivered to the remotest corners of the country via drones, within minutes from the nearest health care centre. That is soon going to be a norm in India. Not just that. A farmer growing tomatoes in the Malwa region in MP can send his produce to the wholesale market in Dewas, rather than see them rotting in his fields because trucks didn’t reach in time.
Using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to deliver farm produce, spraying pesticides without harm to farmers, groceries being delivered to doorstep with speed and reduction of dependency on roads, less carbon footprint…all this is gaining popularity around the world as it eases the delivery processes. India is just about waking up to this revolution. The New production linked incentive – PLI scheme for drone and drone components approved by the Union Cabinet yesterday is set to transfigure communication and business in the country and impact on the lives of millions of Indians.
