He commenced the online workshop that featured the keynote speakers, i.e., Dr. Ambrish Kumar, Dean, College of Agricultural Engineering, Dr. Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University, Samastipur, Pusa, Bihar. Prof. Pandey apprised that 70% of our country's population lives in rural areas engaged in the agricultural economy. Agriculture and allied sector employing 51% of the total workforce but accounting for only 17% of the country's GDP. Thus, there are huge developmental disconnects between the rural and urban sectors, such as inequity in health, education, incomes and basic amenities, and employment opportunities, all causing great discontent and large-scale migration to urban areas. Drone technology, equipped with artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and remote sensing features, is rising in demand because of its advantages. Drone startups in India have used this opportunity to accomplish better technological capacities. 2 Prof. M. Parida, Deputy Director, IIT Roorkee, welcomed the keynote speaker Dr. Ambrish Kumar. He apprised that recently IIT Roorkee has started a drone center. He said that the agricultural drone would empower agriculture professionals with powerful equipment and provides intelligent solutions that save time and increase workflow. This allows timely protection of crops from pests, saves time for crop scouting, reduces overall cost in farm production, and secures high yield and quality crops. Dr. Ambrish Kumar, discussed and shared his experience through the on “Drone - A Modren tool for Sustainable Agriculure”. Dr. Ambrish said that Drones are emerging as a component of precision agriculture and contribute to sustainable agriculture. He added that adopting modern technologies in agriculture, such as drones, can significantly enhance risk and damage assessments and revolutionize agricultural management. Presently, farmers face many problems like unavailability or high labor cost, health problems by coming into contact with chemicals (fertilizers, pesticides, etc.) while applying them in the field, bite by insects or animals, etc. In this context, drones can also help farmers in avoiding these troubles. He said that Drones help farmers optimize inputs such as seeds, fertilizers, water, and pesticides more efficiently. It benefits a wide range of customers, from farmers and growers to agricultural cooperation and service agencies. Digital, informative, intelligent, and precise management solutions can easily be extended for commercial crops such as sugarcane, cotton, citrus trees, apple trees, tea plants, etc. He emphasized using Drone technology for agriculture like Soil Health Monitoring, Pesticide Monitoring, Weed Mapping, Fertilizer application, Crop growth monitoring, disease detection, etc. Moreover, Dr. Ambrish discussed some points for using drone technology in the agricultural field like Scope & Opportunities, Precision Agriculture, Classification of Drone, Field layout & mapping for spray application, LOCUST Control Using Drone, Way Forward & Challenges, Recommendations for DAC & 3 FW, Corp Monitoring & Modeling, Outcomes, DGCA Guidelines and Drone as a future technology for agriculture, etc. Farmers’ BIRD EYE – Torchbearer of Next-gen Agriculture During the interactive session, few questions were raised by the participants, which were answered by keynote speaker Dr. Ambrish Kumar.
