IG Drones receives Govt. of India grant for Soil & Plant Health Analysis using Drones

New Delhi (India), April 28: IG Drones, a leading drone technology company, has received a grant from the Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC) of the Indian government to implement an innovative project that uses drones for soil and plant health analysis in India’s North-East region. The project, spearheaded by Sambit Parida, Co-Founder & CTO of IG Drones, seeks to revolutionize tea production, promote environmental sustainability, and boost socioeconomic growth in the region.

Tea is a widely consumed beverage worldwide and has significant economic importance in India’s North-East, but tea gardens in the region face challenges such as the lack of accurate and timely information on soil and plant health. Farmers have traditionally used manual methods that are time-consuming and labour-intensive. IG Drones project aims to address these challenges by utilizing advanced drone technology to gather real-time data on crucial aspects, providing tea growers with valuable insights to improve their farming practices.

One of the key benefits of the project is the potential to enhance crop management and output. Drones can collect data on pest infestations, nutrient levels, and soil moisture, enabling farmers to make informed decisions on the use of fertilizers, irrigation, and pest control. This precision farming approach reduces costs, minimizes environmental impact, and boosts agricultural yields, leading to increased production and improved financial stability for tea farmers, contributing to the broader economic prosperity of the region.
