To operate drones for agricultural purposes, individuals must obtain a Remote Pilot Certificate (RPC). The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) has outlined the eligibility criteria and process for acquiring this certification. As October marks the start of the peak agricultural season, Marut will offer free drone training to its customers throughout the entire month of October.

This comprehensive 5-day course is designed for anyone interested in offering Drone as a Service or spray applications. This course includes theoretical insights into DGCA rules and regulations, drone data analysis, payload utilization along with hands on UAS and simulator training. Marut Drones will provide pilot training to customers nationwide, leveraging its extensive network of partner academies and RPTOs across India. This initiative ensures that individuals from all regions can take advantage of this free training, which typically costs Rs. 42,000.

“Most drones in the market are designed for a single purpose, such as pesticide spraying. Recognizing the challenges faced by farmers, we have developed the first multi-utility drone, the AG365. Much like a tractor, this drone can be adapted for various tasks simply by changing its attachments, allowing for a better return on investment. We can utilize the drone for different agricultural applications over the years. In line with Marut’s vision to build a robust ecosystem for adoption of drones in agriculture, we are offering a comprehensive skill development training course at no cost for the month of October. Marut’s aim is to provide entry-level support for individuals looking to embrace drone technology and achieve financial independence. A drone entrepreneur using Marut Drones can earn anywhere between Rs.40,000 to Rs.90,000 / month, enabling him/her to work at comfort of his home making a positive impact on farmers.” said Prem Kumar Vislawath, CEO and Co-Founder, Marut Drones.
