There will soon be a drone data repository and a drone school. The Drone Promotion and Use Policy starts to be implemented effectively
Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that a comprehensive action plan has been developed to establish Madhya Pradesh as a major drone manufacturing and technology hub. The Madhya Pradesh Drone Promotion and Use Policy-2025, which aims to draw investment into the drone industry, has been approved by the state government to support this project. Through the responsible and effective use of drones, the strategy seeks to foster economic growth, innovation, and job creation. To improve drone technology utilization throughout the state, a drone data repository will shortly be established as part of the policy. In keeping with the Prime Minister’s Gati Shakti plan, this repository will act as a centralized platform for handling the government’s drone data and imagery.
The drone data repository will make it easier for departments to collaborate and share data. It will facilitate the creation of sophisticated monitoring systems with the use of planning and analytical tools based on GIS. The repository will facilitate precise resource allocation and infrastructure development by offering real-time, current monitoring. It will also expedite project review procedures, optimize time and cost management, improve coordination, and improve decision-making.
The Department of Science and Technology will maintain appropriate agreements with cooperating partners and guarantee the safe administration of the drone data repository. As stated in the National Geospatial Policy-2022 or any later revisions or policies, the state government will ensure that all drone data gathered by state agencies is stored in accordance with data protection laws and regulations. To protect sensitive data, cutting-edge secure data transfer and storage technologies will be used.
Although drones are pilotless, their use is predicted to grow significantly in the future, transforming a number of industries. Drones provide creative solutions that guarantee timely data collection while drastically lowering the demand for human labor. They are especially good in accurately and efficiently reaching hard-to-reach places. Drones are becoming indispensable instruments in many different industries thanks to the use of modern technologies.
