Agri Drone Operations : Practical and Online Learning Structure

  • Theory Classes:
    The theory classes in the Agri Drone Operations Course are conducted online and are designed to provide a strong foundational understanding of drone applications in agriculture. Topics include the anatomy and functions of agri drones, crop growth stages, pesticide compatibility, spraying techniques, and area coverage calculations. Learners also study key regulatory guidelines issued by the DGCA, including UIN registration, NPNT compliance, and safe operating procedures. Additionally, the course introduces basic mission planning, map reading, and the use of KML files for route creation. These sessions ensure participants are well-prepared for safe, compliant, and efficient drone operations before entering the field for practical training.

  • Practical Classes:
    The practical training in the Agri Drone Operations Course is conducted offline and is essential for hands-on skill development. Participants learn how to assemble and calibrate agricultural drones, manage batteries, and prepare spray tanks with the correct dosage. The training includes live flight sessions where learners perform manual and GPS-based autonomous spraying missions over actual farmland. Real-world scenarios such as obstacle avoidance, emergency landing, and in-field troubleshooting are practiced to build operational confidence. By the end of the practical sessions, participants are equipped to independently execute safe and effective drone-based agricultural operations.
