 They will play a big role in India's next technology revolution, whether in day-to-day agricultural activities, personal air travel, land ownership in villages or the security and surveillance of development projects. Taking another step towards Atmanir Bharabharat and the Prime Minister's vision of promoting ease of doing business, the Government of India has liberalised the drone rules to enable Indian entrepreneurs to create cutting-edge technology for the world. Recognising the importance of drones, the Government of India released a dedicated drone policy to unlock a host of opportunities and transform India into a global drone hub. The mission Drone Shakti was introduced to promote drones as a service. The regulatory forms have been reduced from 25 forms to 5. The PLI scheme has been announced for 120 crores and there have been 23 remote pilot training organisations that have been set up. Inclusive growth opportunities were introduced along with monetary support for purchase of agricultural drones. The ease regulations and economic incentives coupled with the highly innovative talent pool has created an ecosystem for drone startups in India to create impact across industries. Drones are being put to use for sensitive border surveillance, delivering medicines and vaccines in remote locations. Significant measures such as the Swarmithua scheme have enabled land mapping of over 6.6 lakh villages, digitising land ownership records and for saving lives during disasters. They provide a bird's-eye view during the biggest sporting events. They are being used to assist our farmers with precision agriculture and with combating pests and are also being used for large-scale entertainment shows in the sky. Drone technology has the potential to tackle many societal challenges across the globe. With aggressive innovation and proactive measures in the sector, India is now poised to be the drone hub of the world by 2030.
