Through their innovative technology, farmers can now utilize Nano Urea spraying, maximizing efficiency, and productivity. The Drone Yatra in Goa is specially tailored to empower farmers with knowledge about the latest advancements in precision agriculture. By utilizing Nano Urea spraying through Kisan Drones, farmers can optimize the use of resources, minimize environmental impact, and ultimately increase their yield and income. The drone Yatra will be conducted in 100 villages in the period of one month.
