SSM’s Krishi Vigyan Kendra Introduces Agricultural Drones

In a proactive endeavour to enhance agricultural practices, SSM’s Krishi Vigyan Kendra Sagroli recently organised a Training and Workshop Program on “Awareness of Improved Agricultural Technologies and Demonstration of Agricultural Drones.” From September 18 to September 23, 2023, the program covered 11 villages in Biloli, Naigaon, and Degalur Talukas of Nanded.

This initiative aimed at educating local farmers about modern agricultural technologies, mainly focusing on using agricultural drones. More than 700 farmers actively participated, indicating a widespread impact on the farming community. The program included workshops and practical demonstrations, dispelling misconceptions about drone technology in agriculture.

Farmers expressed satisfaction with the new technology, highlighting the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of drone spraying. They recognised its potential to reduce costs, enhance speed, and minimise chemical usage while ensuring operator safety.

This initiative promotes modern agricultural techniques and empowers farmers to adopt innovative solutions, increasing farm productivity and improving livelihoods. SSM continues its dedication to fostering knowledge and innovation in the agricultural sector, positively impacting local communities.
