ICAR institutions, KVKs, and SAUs have helped farmers receive 100% grant-in-aid for the purchase of agricultural drones and attachments, up to a maximum of Rs.10 lakhs.
This financial assistance allowed these institutions to use Garuda Kisan drones to conduct demonstrations on farmers’ fields. FPOs received a 75% grant-in-aid for the purchase of agricultural drones and attachments for demonstrations on farmer’s fields. This initiative aimed at encouraging the use of agricultural drones in India, to benefit small-scale farmers.
The government encourages the adoption of this technology and helps farmers to improve their yields and reduce costs.
