  • Garuda Aerospace, a Made in India drone startup, has become the country's first company to receive a subsidy for making agri-drones, as a part of the government's efforts to promote the use of agricultural drones.
  • Under this, Garuda Kisan Drones were given to eight farmers at an event held in Pune. 
  • DGCA-approved Garuda Kisan drones for farmers can manage and monitor crop health, and detect and identify areas that require water or fertilizer. 
  • They can also be used to spray pesticides and fertilizers on crops, cutting down on manual labour and increasing efficiency.
  • The subsidy is just one of the many initiatives launched by the Indian government to support the development of India's drone industry and will benefit small-scale farmers, increase agricultural productivity, and reduce food waste.
  • The Agri Drone Subsidy is a scheme floated by the Department of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare through its Sub-Mission on Agricultural Mechanisation.
