Garuda Aerospace Plans to Plant 75,000 Seeds

Start-up for drones Garuda Aerospace announced on Saturday that it will plant 75,000 seeds to commemorate the country's 75th anniversary of independence. Garuda Aerospace will launch a nationwide drone seed planting drive on June 5 to commemorate World Environment Day, according to a company statement.

The company's recently launched 'Vriksh Vaahan' drone will be used for the task. The drone would be a simple way to increase efficiency while reducing environmental damage, according to the report. "The 'Vriksh Vaahan' drones will spray seeds directly over fields on the desired spot with the help of GPS coordinates", it said.

"We are extremely delighted and excited to demonstrate the process of seed plantation using drones in the forests of Maharashtra. At Garuda Aerospace, we are committed and invested in creating a robust drone ecosystem for India. With drone as a service, we strive to realise our Prime Minister Narendra Modiji's vision to empower our farmers to reduce their cost, improve crop yield and increase efficiency", Garuda Aerospace founder-CEO Agnishwar Jayaprakash said.
