He said, “Marut’s technology is reaching remote districts to resolve the crisis afflicting the farmer’s community. With Marut’s AG365 drone, the farming practices will be revolutionized. Marut drones will generate economic and employment opportunities in districts, the drones are safe to operate and have flying endurance of 22 minutes. With govt support and partnerships with agriculture departments and universities, we will ensure that Marut’s technology reaches across villages and towns of Telangana.”
PJTSAU acknowledged Marut Drones as a trusted long-term partner. They stated, “Marut’s multi-utility AG365 drone is instrumental in providing a comprehensive training to farmers, women drone pilots, young farmers, and agriculture graduates who are keen towards adoption of drone technology in agriculture.”
