Mr. Modi launched the drones on Friday(18th Feb 2022) with officials describing it as a "very novel and exciting initiative" for farmers.
 
In his speech, the Prime Minister said a new culture of drone start-ups is getting ready in India. Their numbers will soon be in thousands from over 200 now, leading to the generation of employment opportunities on a massive scale.
 
He said his government will ensure that there is no impediment in the sector's development and has already undertaken several reforms and policy measures to facilitate its rise.
