According to K. Dinesh Kumar, Managing Director of the AP Drone Corporation, the state government would offer incentives of up to Rs. 5 lakhs to young people and aspiring businesspeople who enter the drone industry in order to launch enterprises. He exhorted the young people to seize this chance. At Dhane Kula Engineering College in Vijayawada, he was the main speaker at the Advanced Atal Faculty Development Program on “A Deep Dive into Autonomous Vehicle Theory to Practice” on Monday. He spoke to the students during the first session of the 12-day training program.
He stated that Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu has a vision of Andhra Pradesh becoming the Drone Capital of India and that the drone industry would develop into a dominant field in the near future. He pointed out that the state has already achieved great strides in this area in the drone industry. He went on to say that young people and technical students should take advantage of the many prospects in drone production and services.
He added that people who establish businesses in the drone manufacturing sector will receive a 20 percent government subsidy. Additionally, the state intends to develop a drone hub on 300 acres in Oorvakallu. He emphasised how the global drone market is changing quickly, how technology is advancing daily, and how drones are being utilised more and more to give consumers better services. As a result, this field will have plenty of opportunities. He called on technical schools to inform their pupils on the most recent advancements in drone technology.
If educational institutions want to offer drone technology training, the state government is prepared to supply the assistance they need. Along with skill development centres centred on the actual application of drones, ITIs and polytechnics are also establishing drone-related Centres of Excellence. He urged educational institutions, technical students, and young people to utilise these resources.
Principal Dr. Ravi Kadiyal, Chairman of Dhane Kula Engineering College Dhane Kula Ravindranath Thakur, Organising Secretary Bhavani Prasad, and Dr. Pradeep, Head of the Centre for Drone Technology at IIT Guwahati, attended the ceremony.
