UAVs to the rescue of farming community
The HinduAt a time when the farming community is facing several challenges, especially shortage of skilled workers amid the COVID-19 outbreak, unmanned aerial vehicles are offering solution to many of their issues. The Krishi Vigyan Kendra at Ambalavayal under the Kerala Agricultural University recently demonstrated its modern rice technology protocol using UAV at three sites in Wayanad recently. “If the government provides incentives for the use of drones, it will be a great help for the farming community,” he says. Organising demonstration programmes on the use of UAVs for farming communities; establishing custom hiring centres for UAVs in KVKs; providing training to rural youth for operating and maintaining UAVs; and enhancing productivity through efficient delivery of agrochemicals are the other objectives, says Dr. Chandra Babu.
