The state agriculture department has introduced a free drone pilot training program and subsidies to help young farmers adopt modern technology for pesticide application.
The agriculture department of the state announced a new initiative that offers free training and subsidies for agricultural drones, targeting young farmers.
The scheme is designed to introduce modern technology to the farming community, enabling efficient pesticide spraying and improving overall productivity.
Training sessions will cover drone operation, safety protocols, and maintenance, while the subsidy component aims to offset the cost of acquiring drones.
Officials said the program forms part of broader efforts to modernise agriculture and expects increased adoption among youth, leading to higher yields and reduced chemical usage.
