"DroneAcharya Aerial Innovations Ltd Secures Rs. 96 Lakh Training Tender"

In a groundbreaking development, DroneAcharya Aerial Innovations Limited has clinched India's largest DGCA Certified Drone Pilot Training Tender for Government officers in Karnataka. Valued at INR 96,00,000.00, this tender, awarded by the Karnataka Forest Department, aims to provide comprehensive training to 240 officers in DGCA-certified drone pilot training and the applications of drones in forestry and surveillance over two phases. Notably, this initiative has the potential to train a significant 13,000 government personnel in Karnataka over time.

This collaboration signifies a pivotal moment in the integration of cutting-edge drone technology within the Karnataka Forest Department's operations. The training will empower officers to enhance surveillance capabilities, conduct efficient search and rescue operations, and track poachers across the expansive 38,730 sq. km of forest area in the state. The successful implementation of this tender serves as a model for other State Governments to adopt similar measures within their jurisdictions.

Beyond its immediate applications, this venture plays a crucial role in preparing forest officials to effectively utilize drones in their day-to-day activities. The primary goal is to equip them with the necessary skills for monitoring and safeguarding Karnataka's diverse forest ecosystem.

Prateek Srivastava, Founder and Managing Director at DroneAcharya Aerial Innovations Limited, highlights the significance of the initiative, stating, "The training centers across the state of Karnataka will be pivotal in developing proficiency in drone technology, enabling forest frontline staff to harness its potential in surveillance, search and rescue operations, and tracking activities related to wildlife conservation and poacher deterrence."

Moreover, the applications of drone technology extend beyond surveillance and poacher tracking. The establishment of a center in Dharwad by DroneAcharya will serve as a nodal point for providing drone services, including surveying, 3D modeling, predictive analysis, anomaly detection, hotspot detection, and surveillance.

This partnership between DroneAcharya and the Karnataka Forest Department represents a transformative step toward conservation and management practices in the state. By providing specialized training and tools to frontline forest staff, the initiative aims to elevate the protection and preservation of Karnataka's invaluable forest ecosystems to new heights.
