Agriculture in India has always been viewed as adopting primitive tools, methods and techniques. The reason for this is the lack of awareness among the farmers or the reluctance of the farmers to adapt to the growing technology around them. Although there have been many developments in the area of tools and implements used in farming, the latest developments in technology is yet to be leveraged in most parts of farming communities. This paper will explore about drones which are fast emerging technology and its application to precision agriculture and how it can support and improve the productivity and also some of the challenges in delivering this technology to the local farmers.
