The Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IITK), inaugurated an International Training Programme called “Agriculture Practice Using Drones: Plan, Design, Build, and Fly,” from November 13 to 23, 2024. The programme has been launched in collaboration with the African-Asian Rural Development Organization (AARDO).
The comprehensive course covers key areas in agricultural drone usage, including precision crop monitoring, soil health assessment, pest control, and smart irrigation. Participants will gain practical insights into drone-based data collection and sensor integration for agricultural monitoring, with hands-on sessions on flight path planning, aerial mapping, and the use of drones in remote sensing and automated irrigation systems.
