The government is offering drone training and licensing to 10th-grade pass youth<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In response to the growing importance of technology in agriculture, various state governments and agricultural institutions in India are offering training programs for agricultural drones. This initiative aims to enhance efficiency and productivity in farming practices. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Training and Certification<\/strong> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Several states, including Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh, are actively involved in providing drone training. The Chandra Shekhar Azad University of Agriculture (CSA), Kanpur, is launching a 7-day training course for 10th-grade pass students and other individuals associated with agriculture. The course will be offered at a significantly reduced fee of \u20b99,300, covering both training and accommodation costs. This initiative includes a 50% discount on the standard fee of \u20b965,000, as per DGCA regulations. After completing the training, participants will receive a certification that also serves as a license for operating drones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Agricultural drones are revolutionizing farming by reducing costs and improving efficiency. According to Dr. C.L. Maurya from CSA University, drones are primarily used for spraying pesticides and fertilizers and conducting soil mapping. They can complete these tasks in a fraction of the time required for manual methods, significantly reducing labor costs and minimizing the waste of inputs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
