The Government of India is engaged in continuous efforts to make farming easier. New technology is being promoted by the government in the agriculture sector. However, many farmer brothers are unable to adopt these techniques due to financial constraints. In this sequence, the government has implemented a special scheme to increase the availability of drones in the agriculture sector.
The central government has launched 100 ‘Kisan Drones’ encouraging modern technology in the agriculture sector. Under this, a subsidy of 50% i.e. at least 5 lakh rupees will be given on the purchase of drones by the farmers. This grant is especially for SC-ST, small-marginal farmers and women farmers. Apart from this, a subsidy of 40% i.e. Rs 4 lakh will be made available to other categories of farmers.
The objective of this scheme is to make farming easy. With the help of drones, farmer brothers will get a lot of help in surveying agricultural land, and protecting and monitoring crops. With this, weed control and spraying of insecticides can be done in a very short time. With the use of drones, farmers will get good profits at a low cost for farming.
