Invest India, India\u2019s National Investment Promotion Agency have closely collaborated through the AGNI Mission, and Invest India\u2019s Business Immunity Platform (BIP) – to facilitate the use of specially designed drones to support Covid-19 disinfection in Varanasi.<\/p>\n
The Government\u2019s Covid-19 strategies align with global best practice: protecting Indians against Covid-19, by minimising their chances of catching it. To boost local authority capacities in achieving this, the Government is leveraging the power of technology.<\/p>\n
Drones offer an answer. Using drones, authorities could spray disinfectant over large, crowded, vulnerable urban areas: protecting city-dwellers from Covid-19, while reducing human contact to keep frontline workers safe.<\/p>\n
Helping Garuda Aerospace, a Chennai-based drone startup, respond to Varanasi\u2019s interest in such disinfection: the team worked with Central, State, and local government authorities to help get Garuda\u2019s technologies and personnel to Varanasi. The team monitored and supported every step of this exercise: helping Government and innovator collaborate to fight Covid-19 together.<\/p>\n
Drone operations in Varanasi have just commenced. The team will now extend similar capabilities to more cities across India.<\/p>\n
This forms part of a wider effort to use\u00a0innovative\u00a0<\/strong>technology, via Government-innovator collaboration, to reinforce Indian authorities\u2019 fight against Covid-19.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Invest India, India\u2019s National Investment Promotion Agency have closely collaborated through the AGNI Mission, and Invest India\u2019s Business Immunity Platform (BIP) – to facilitate the use of specially designed drones to support Covid-19 disinfection in Varanasi.
