The scope for skill development and employment generation in the Indian drone industry is huge.

Now it is no longer restricted to the defence sector only and is now seen as a useful technology for agriculture, healthcare, tourism, media and other industries. 

With so much potential for employment and entrepreneurship across industries, the drone sector has the potential to place India as a global drone hub in the future.
