“Technical training is a cornerstone of the AgriWings initiative. The organisation provides extensive training on the use of agricultural drones, a technology that has the potential to transform farming practices. This training ensures that VLEs are well-versed in operating drones, and optimising their use for various agricultural applications. To further enhance the capabilities of VLEs, AgriWings offers training under the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) guidelines. This includes obtaining the Remote Pilot Certificate (RPC), a crucial credential for operating drones commercially. The DGCA training ensures that VLEs meet the regulatory standards, enhancing their credibility and operational efficiency,” the company informed.
“One of the most promising aspects of the AgriWings initiative is the potential to revolutionise income generation for farmers. With just one drone, farmers have the opportunity to generate annual earnings of up to 7-8 lakhs, marking a substantial enhancement in their financial stability and prosperity. Success stories from early adopters highlight the transformative impact of drone technology on their livelihoods,” AgriWings said.
