Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday said that the government would promote the use of 'kisan drones' in the agricultural sector as part of the Budget for 2022-23.
These drones, she said, would be used to assess crops, digitise land records as well as to spray pesticides, insecticides and other nutrients.
Additionally, she said that start-ups would be promoted to facilitate the 'Drone Shakti' programme that will take forward a number of assessment drives and push the use of drones as a service.
