If a farmer does farming traditionally using the old method, he can grow only one crop at a time. At the same time, there is new age farming in which more work is done in less time by the use of modern agricultural equipment and due to saving time, the farmer can pay attention to other crops also. Farmers can do hours of work in minutes by using new technologies. Nowadays, agricultural drones are also gradually being used among new agricultural technologies. With its help, spraying of fertilizers and pesticides is done very quickly and easily. Considering these qualities of drones, the government is also giving subsidies to drones.

The Bihar government has also started a pilot project to emphasize spraying pesticides through drones in Rabi crops. Farmers registered on the DBT portal of the state agriculture department can take advantage of this scheme. In this scheme, the government will give the farmers a subsidy of Rs 250 per acre. Through this, a farmer can spray pesticides with a drone in a maximum of 10 acres at a subsidy. The Plant Protection Department will take online applications from farmers under this scheme.
