Drones to Send Medicines to Remote Parts of ASR District

Visakhapatnam: Alluri Sitharama Raju district has taken another big step in the adoption of drone technology. The World Economic Forum recently carried out its 'Medicine From The Sky' programme, which aims to remove the urban-rural divide by moving blood, vaccines and even organs via drones, in the district on a pilot basis. ASR district collector A.S. Dinesh Kumar confirmed the trial was conducted and medicines were delivered to a remote village. Drones could also be used to deliver pensions to places where there are no roads,’’ Dinesh Kumar told DC. "We did not use drones during the recent Chinturu floods as there was road access to some points but in future we will use them in full scale to save precious time," the collector said.
