Parliament Data Reveals Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh Lag In Drone Adoption

Recent data presented in the Lok Sabha has highlighted a concerning trend regarding the adoption of drone technology in Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh. Despite the Indian government's efforts to liberalize the drone ecosystem, these two states have shown a notably slower pace in integrating drones into various sectors. The government's initiatives aim to boost the utilization of drones for agriculture, surveillance, and logistics, which are seen as vital for enhancing efficiency and productivity. However, the report suggests that local challenges, including infrastructure and awareness, may be hindering progress. Stakeholders in both states are urged to explore potential collaborations and training programs to better leverage drone technology. As the Central government pushes for modernization, the disparity in adoption rates between states raises questions about equitable growth and resource allocation in the rapidly evolving tech landscape. Enhancing drone usage could significantly impact rural development and disaster management, making it imperative for Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh to catch up with more progressive states in this domain.
