Apart from military use, let’s have a look at the other verticals where Indians are making the most of the drones.

Here Are Some Of The Ways Drones Are Being Used In India

Agricultural Drones

It is not the IT sector that is reaping the benefits of evolving technologies, even agriculture is also of such vertical that has been touched by technology. The impact of technology in agriculture is positive, and with the advent of technologies like drones, it is experiencing a big change in improving the efficiency of agriculture.

Fopple Technologies is one such company which is playing a vital role in this transformation. The company has devised drones that spray pesticides on the fields. Now, farmers don’t have to do it manually, which is both time-consuming and increases health at risk.

In Mapping Property And Slum Areas

According to one of our report, most of the litigation in India are related to property disputes or titles. And in order to deal with it, the Indian government, with the help of private companies, is using drones.

Last year, the government of Odisha has been using drones to map out the urban slums. Also, the govt. was ready to give titles to 2,00,000 households in urban slums and those on the outskirts of cities by the end of 2018.

Drone For Delivering Parcels

A couple of years back, Amazon once filed patent for the use of drones in India for delivering e-commerce packages, and in response to that Indian Civil Aviation Ministry announced in 201 that it would soon be a reality to witness the use of drones for such purposes.

If Amazon successfully pulls this off, then it would not only be one of the most quirky uses of drone that India will witness but it will also take e-commerce one step ahead.

Over 26 drone pilots from across India participated and Ritvik Suneel Nesargi from Pune was the winner who was awarded a cash prize of ₹1 lakh.

According to the students, the drone was designed in such a way it can carry a first-aid box of up 8 kgs of weight and it can fly at a speed of up 70kmph. That is not all, the drone equipped with an interactive screen that is used to guide and explain the kind of first aid to be given based on the type of accidents and injuries.

In December 31st, 2017, the city police deployed several drones to keep an eye on the crowd in order to ensure security.

Places like MG Road, Koramangala, Indiranagar in Bengaluru were under drone surveillance during the new year’s night in 2017. Also, in 2018, the city was successfully monitoring all the activities. This is one of the best uses of drone that India has witnessed.
