Agriculture Drone Spraying CSR Project for Sustainable Farming

Enabling efficient and sustainable farming with drones

Objective

• The project aims to empower farmers with advanced drone technology, enabling efficient pesticide spraying, reduced input costs, and higher crop yields.

Description

• India's agriculture sector faces challenges that limit its growth, including inefficiencies in pesticide application, labour shortages, and rising input costs. Addressing these issues, NCCRD proposes a CSR initiative that promotes the use of agri-spraying drones to farmers in Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra and villages around Delhi NCR. This initiative will modernise farming, reduce environmental impact, enhance farmer income, and promote sustainability.

Impact

• Reduced pesticide usage by 20-30%, lowering input costs for farmers. Increased crop yields through precise application of nutrients and pesticides. Decreased chemical runoff, promoting soil and water conservation. Lower carbon footprint due to reduced use of traditional spraying equipment. Farmers achieve self-reliance in operating and maintaining drones, ensuring long-term benefits.
