🚁 Why Drone Pilot Training is Important in Agriculture

Modern farming increasingly relies on precision agriculture, where drones help in:

  • Crop health monitoring
  • Pesticide and fertilizer spraying
  • Land surveying and mapping
  • Water stress detection
  • Yield estimation

Certified drone pilots are now in high demand across India. With the rise of agri-drone service centers, trained pilots can earn through custom hiring, contract spraying, and consultancy.


🎓 Where is the Training Conducted?

The training is provided through a DGCA-recognized Remote Pilot Training Organization (RPTO) operating at Agriculture University Jodhpur, approved by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA). This ensures trainees receive nationally valid certification.

After successful completion, candidates receive a Remote Pilot Certificate (RPC), and their credentials are verified on the official DigitalSky platform.
