Kanpur: IIT Kanpur is famous in the country and the world for its best technology and research. Especially in the field of drone technology, the institute has achieved many big achievements. Now IIT Kanpur is going to take a big step to make India self -sufficient in drone technology. If someone has a new idea of ​​making drones, then he will get full support here. The prototype of drone will be prepared in the institute, it will be tested and also certified. Under this initiative, IIT Kanpur Manohar Parrikar will create a modern hub of drone technology in the country in collaboration with the Institute for Defense Studies.

Big conference on drone
An important meeting was held in IIT Kanpur, in which representatives of several government and private institutions attended. He visited the institute’s flight lab, UAV lab and other technical centers. During this time, experts from IIT Kanpur informed them about the new research and possibilities being done in drone technology.

Your indigenous drone will be made in India
Sujan R., Director General of Manohar Parrikar Institute for Defense Studies. Chinoy said that most of the drones in India are imported from abroad. But sometimes their quality and credibility are questioned. If indigenous drones are made in India with the help of government and private institutions, then it will be very beneficial for the security and development of the country.

IIT Kanpur will become National Hub of Drone Technology
Now IIT Kanpur will help all students, scientists and startups who want to make drones for agriculture, disaster management and defense sector. All the necessary facilities are available here, which will help in developing this technique. The special thing is that IIT Kanpur is the only institution in India, which has its own air strip. This will make it easier to testing and certify the drone.
If someone brings a new idea related to a student, scientist or startup drone, then the experts of IIT Kanpur will help him. Here the model and prototype of drone will be prepared, its flight testing will be done and then certified based on security and quality standards. Through this hub, cheap and reliable drones will be developed for industries, agriculture, defense and disaster management.

India will be self -sufficient in drone technology
Director of IIT Kanpur Prof. Manindra Aggarwal said that the institute is already doing research on drone technology. Now through this new hub, these researches will be extended further, so that India can be made self -sufficient in drone manufacturing.
In today’s time, drones are being used not only for safety, but are being used in many areas like agriculture, medicine, disaster relief, transport and logistics. Given the increasing need of drone technology in India, it has become very important to promote local construction and research.
This hub, built in IIT Kanpur, will speed up technological development in the country and will prove to be a major step towards making India a global competitive in drone technology.
