DRONES - A Revolution in Agriculture

Abstract

India is one of the biggest agrarian economies in the world. A majority of people in rural India still rely on farming as the primary source of income. India is only second to the United States when it comes to the total arable area with 394.6 million acres while it tops the list of the countries with the largest gross irrigated crop area with 215.6 million acres. Also, agriculture contributed nearly 20% to the overall GDP of India in FY 2020-21, a jump of more than 2% from its contribution in FY 2019-20.
