Quantum University organized a training programme on “Use of Drone Technology in Agriculture” for first-year and second-year B.Sc. Agriculture students at the Horticulture Laboratory. The programme aimed to provide students with practical exposure to emerging technologies and highlight the role of drones in smart and precision agriculture.

The programme commenced with an inaugural address highlighting the importance of modern agricultural technologies and encouraging students to develop practical knowledge of emerging tools. The technical training introduced students to the basic components and working principles of agricultural drones, along with their assembly, operation, handling, safety precautions, and maintenance.

Students also participated in a practical demonstration on drone assembly and were guided through the functions of its different components. Following the technical session, a practical flying session was conducted in the agricultural field, where students observed and learned drone operation and flying techniques.

The training provided students with insights into the potential applications of drone technology in agriculture, including crop monitoring, field surveillance, precision farming, and agricultural spraying. The hands-on exposure helped students better understand how advanced technologies can improve efficiency, precision, and sustainability in modern agricultural practices.

The programme proved to be an informative and valuable learning experience, strengthening students’ understanding of AgriTech and encouraging them to explore technology-driven solutions for the future of agriculture. The initiative reflected Quantum University’s emphasis on experiential learning and preparing students for the evolving agricultural sector.
