“It visualises a local community-centric drone reforestation programme to recover thinned down, degraded and fragmented forests,” he said.
He said the start off-up would utilise the proceeds to function on stabilisation of seed ball planning and improving upon drone technological know-how.
“We will also develop common functioning treatments for aerial seeding of seed balls,” he said.
It takes advantage of IoT, AI, information analytics and machine discovering to supply products and services these types of as pesticide spraying and mosquito eradication.
“We are scheduling to teach folks in rural regions to put together seed balls,” he said.
