HOW ARE DRONES CHANGING THE WORLD

1. HOW ARE DRONES CHANGING THE WORLD? Technology continues to make ripples across the globe with ground-breaking discoveries and innovations to tackle simple business problems. Amongst the myriad of these technological advancements, drones are considered to be the most important addition as we step into the golden era of technology. Initially, drones were used as effective tools for surveillance during the war, thereby transforming how we witness the world and reshaping reality. Today, many major corporations are trying to adapt drones for delivery. The easy availability of lost-cost drones and the ability to effortlessly control these devices are the reasons for drones becoming more mainstream. The need for drones is evident and growing in every major sector, ranging from agriculture to healthcare. Drones are an effective means to capture high-quality aerial photographs and collect huge amounts of data. The need for these sophisticated flying machines differs from industry to industry. In the Agriculture sector, Agri drones are used for monitoring crop health, production & growth of crops, yield optimization, performing surveys, spraying seeds, and micronutrients, etc. The necessity of healthcare drones is becoming more evident with each passing day, especially in providing timely aid for those in need in remote and underdeveloped areas. As of today, our healthcare industry has major shortcomings in its supply chain management. The use of healthcare drones is an environment-friendly means for the delivery of vaccines, medicines for emergency treatments like snakebites, blood samples, and delivery and collection of medical & laboratory reports. Drone technology will effectively aid in the reduction of human dependency and risk of error.

2. In an initiative to make drones more accessible to farmers, the Prime Minister of India announced the ‘Drone Kisan Yatra’ to promote chemical-free farming. This was discussed in the Budget for the year 2022. Kisan drones are unmanned tanks filled with insecticides & nutrients with the capability to carry a weight of 5 - 10 kgs. These remote drones are used to spray pesticides uniformly and save both time & effort. Kisan drones can also be used to carry farmers' produce from farms to the market, ensuring a more direct supply with minimal damage. Encouragement from the government to develop drones within the country and reduction in the cost of drones coupled with easy accessibility has led to an increase in the number of UAV manufacturers in the country. MagicMyna is emerging as one of the leading drone manufacturing companies in India catering to three major sectors, namely Agriculture, Healthcare, and Logistics.
