TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ PM Modi inaugurated India’s biggest ‘Drone Festival’ at Pragati maidan in New Delhi on Friday. “India has the potential of becoming a global drone hub”, said PM Modi at Bharat Drone Mahotsav in New Delhi.
Use of drones will rise in sectors such as agriculture, sports, defence and disaster management, said PM Modi after inaugurating Drone Festival. He said at the event that there was an environment of “indifference” towards the use of technology in governance before 2014 due to which the poor and the middle class suffered the most.
Addressing a gathering after inaugurating India’s biggest drone festival in Delhi, he said the enthusiasm being seen in India about drone technology is amazing and indicates possibilities of an emerging sector of employment generation.
He said eight years ago “we started implementing new mantras of good governance”. “Walking on the path of minimum government and maximum governance, priority was given to ease of living and ease of doing business,” Modi said.
