This drone fair is not just a fair, it is a campaign to change the lives of the people. He said that drone technology can be used for spraying fertilisers and pesticides in the fields. With this, farmers can avoid the ill-effects of harmful chemicals. This technology is also less expensive. Drone technology saves up to 25 percent of manure.

Drones were used in rescue work in the incident of sinking of a well in Ganjbasoda of Vidisha district.

Under this scheme, 100 percent rural people in Harda district have been given the right of ownership. At present, 35 drones are operating in the state under the Swamitva Yojana. With drone technology, medicines and emergency relief can be easily delivered to inaccessible places. Similarly borders can be protected without humans.
