New Delhi: AVPL International has partnered with the Government of Uttar Pradesh to launch Drone Planet Suvidha Kendra at the village level across the state, marking a significant expansion of its national mission to create “a drone entrepreneur in every village of India.”
The initiative is being implemented under the CM Yuva Udhami Yojana, through which selected candidates will receive training, a drone, and a structured business plan that they will submit as part of the scheme. This is expected to enable rural youth and women to start viable drone-based enterprises across agricultural services, agri-retail and digital advisory.
This onboarding by the Uttar Pradesh Government adds strong momentum to AVPL International’s rural expansion. The company is already operational in 16 states with 70 Centre of Excellences . With Uttar Pradesh joining the list, AVPL is set to empower thousands of rural entrepreneurs with drone technology, precision agriculture solutions, digital advisory services and sustainable income opportunities. On-ground setup of the new centres will begin soon.
Strengthening India’s Drone Sector Through Global Learning
AVPL International’s leadership has been actively engaging with global drone innovation hubs to strengthen India’s domestic ecosystem.
Co-founder and Chairman, Mr. Deep Sihag Sesai, is currently on a professional visit to Israel to explore advanced drone systems, agri-automation technologies and precision farming practices.
Earlier, Dr. Preet also participated in the Dubai Airshow and visited Romania. During these visits, the team interacted with leading manufacturers, technology innovators and drone experts, focusing on strengthening India’s after-sales support ecosystem, availability of spare parts, maintenance networks and specialised service capacity.
These international insights highlighted key gaps and future opportunities for India’s drone sector. AVPL International views global knowledge exchange as a powerful tool to build local capability and accelerate the creation of a reliable and future-ready drone ecosystem.
