New Delhi: Drone Yatra, an initiative by Garuda Aerospace, India’s leading drone manufacturer, held across various states has garnered immense popularity and acclaim, leading to its expansion into the state of Goa.

The Directorate of Agriculture, Government of Goa has invited Garuda Aerospace to collaborate with the Department of Agriculture in conducting the initiative of the Drone Yatra aiming to create awareness and promote the adoption of drone technology in agriculture.

In 2022, Union Minister Anurag Thakur flagged off the Drone Yatra 2.0 marking a significant milestone for this groundbreaking project with an aim to cover 755 districts across India. The initiative demonstrates the efficacy of drones in various agricultural applications and highlights the numerous benefits they offer to farmers across all districts in India.

The Directorate of Agriculture in Goa warmly welcomed Garuda Aerospace and expressed its intent to collaborate with the company in conducting the Drone Yatra. This collaboration signifies a joint commitment to harnessing cutting-edge technology for the betterment of agricultural practices in the state. Through their innovative technology, farmers can now utilize Nano Urea spraying, maximizing efficiency, and productivity. The Drone Yatra in Goa is specially tailored to empower farmers with knowledge about the latest advancements in precision agriculture. By utilizing Nano Urea spraying through Kisan Drones, farmers can optimize the use of resources, minimize environmental impact, and ultimately increase their yield and income. The drone Yatra will be conducted in 100 villages in the period of one month.

Agnishwar Jayaprakash, Founder and CEO, Garuda Aerospace, expressed his enthusiasm, stating “We are delighted to conduct the Drone Yatra in the state of Goa. Our mission is to empower farmers with cutting-edge technology that will drive sustainable agricultural practices and boost productivity by enhancing the lives of the farmers.
