In a virtual interaction with Prime Minister Narendra Modi last year, a Pune farmer narrated a village’s fascinating encounter with drone technology. A property mapping of the village undertaken using drones helped the residents get their property titles in the shortest time span ever. The process of obtaining documents took at least a year, and was marred by corruption and arbitrariness. With the use of drones, this could be completed in a transparent manner within a month! In another pilot project conducted in Bengaluru, drones were used to transport medicines to a remote village in just 7-8 minutes, which otherwise took 25-30 minutes by road.
What’s driving drones?
Drones are not new to India. They are already transforming multiple industries. However, until now, never had we taken a serious plunge to grow this reticent undercurrent into an internet-like revolution that pervades our daily lives. It is due to the forward-looking vision of PM Modi that India is now embracing technologies such as drones to power its growth agenda. Secondly, India enjoys a comparative advantage in terms of a large IT and engineering talent pool, as well as a robust entrepreneurial ecosystem. The third and the most important ingredient for any technology to thrive is a conducive regulatory system that balances compliance without clipping its wings.
