The scheme focuses on transporting perishable food products from the hilly and tribal areas and the Northeast.
The government has set a target to make India a global hub for drone by 2030.
The government has done away with many cumbersome rules in the New Drone Policy announced in August 2021 and ease of business, ease of regulation and ease of registration have been brought in the New Policy. AIR correspondent reports that around 100 delegates from 30 countries including from G20 member countries are participating in the three-day event which will conclude today.
