India to make 1 lakh drones in next two years for employment generation and useful in agricultural, medical and other sectors as well : PM
A nation is capable of touching greater heights if the policies are relevant and right and this day is a great example of this very concept. Till a few years back, drone was considered to be a technology related to the Army, or something meant n used to combat enemies. Then our thoughts used to be limited to that particular use only. But today we are inaugurating Kisan drone facilities in Manesar.
These views were expressed by prime minister Narendra Modi while inaugurating the drone facilities at Mansar in a function. The prime minister said this is a new chapter in the direction of modern farming system of the 21st century and am sure that this launch will not only prove to be a milestone in the development of the drone sector but will also open endless doors of new possibilities. He added that I am also told that Garuda Aerospace has set a target of making one lakh ‘Made in India’ drones in the next two years that will generate new jobs and new opportunities for several youngsters.
While congratulating the team of Garuda Aerospace for this outstanding accomplishment prime minister Modi said that for the country, this is the period of ‘Azaadi ka Amritkaal’. Saying that this period belongs to the young India as well as the youth of India he added that the reforms that have taken place during the last few years have given a boost to strengthen the youth as well as the private sector.
In his address prime minister said the announcements made in the budget to ensure important policy decisions, the nation has accorded priority to technology and innovations. Its results are in front of us today. In the present times, we are witnessing the diverse uses of the drones. During the Beating Retreat, the entire nation witnessed a spectacular display of 1000 drones he added.
Terming drones as highly contributive in the housing sector Prime minister emphasised that today, under the Swamitva scheme, the accounts of the land and houses are being prepared through drones in the villages. Medicines are being supplied through drones. Vaccines are reaching the remote areas through them. In addition drones are also being used to sprinkle pesticides in the agricultural fields at the pan India level thus beginning of a new age revolution in this direction. Given an instance in this regard he added that in the coming times, with the help of high-capacity drones, farmers can send fresh vegetables, fruits, flowers from their fields to the markets. People associated with pisci-culture can send fresh fish catch directly to the market from ponds, rivers and sea including fishermen and farmers reaching the market in the shortest possible time with minimum damage. Consequently, the income of my farmer and fishermen brothers and sisters will also increase this many such possibilities are knocking at our doors said prime minister.
Feeling glad that many more companies in the country are moving rapidly in this direction he further said that a new ecosystem of drone start-ups is being created in India with more than 200 drone start-ups operating in the country further reach to thousands in future. Terming this as a job enhancing proposition PM Modi said that it will also generate lakhs of new employment opportunities further adding that in the near future, this growing capability of India will showcase India under a new leadership role before the whole world in the field of drones.
Thanking all from the bottom of his heart prime minister Narendra Modi said my best wishes to you all. My best wishes to the prowess of the youth. I congratulate today’s youth for all the start-ups that have come up today, for being daring and taking risks. He assured that the Government of India promises to be your constant support and to walk shoulder to shoulder with you through the policies. It will not let any obstacle come in your way concluded PM Modi
