Initiated by the public sector organization Assam State Electronics Development Corporation Limited, the proposal to establish the Authorized Drone Pilot School in Tech City, Guwahati is currently in the early stages of development.
A month ago, it was successful in obtaining approval from the DGCA to launch the Remote Pilot Training School.
The report indicated that AMTRON has made an effort to make this technology accessible to younger people. The North-Eastern region of India is going to be home to India’s very first Drone Pilot Training School, which will usher in a brand-new era of education that integrates technological practices. The establishment of new schools like these in the Northeast will make new opportunities available to the region’s young people and give them a vision of how they can use technology to improve their society. The youth of the Northeast will receive training from the most qualified professionals in the industry, which will allow them to take advantage of the numerous opportunities that will arise as a result of the proliferation of drone technology.
In addition, it stated that “Joining hands in the venture as its training partner is EduRade—a Government of India recognized start-up that was incubated at IIT Guwahati and IIM Calcutta Innovation Park.” EduRade is an organization that “has trained a large number of youths on emerging technologies in premier institutions including IITs and NITs.”
It was stated that the first DGCA-approved drone training school in the country was inaugurated in Haryana in 2021, and there have been a total of 23 drone pilot school registered in the country up until this point. Assam has finally established itself on the educational landscape of India thanks to the opening of this school in Guwahati. It is anticipated that the AMTRON Drone School, which is located in Tech City and has its flying grounds at the Assam Forest School in Jalukbari, will be among the most highly regarded drone schools in the nation. AMTRON has purchased four indigenous drones, two in the micro category (weighing two kilograms or less) and two in the small category (weighing between two and twenty-five kilograms). Another two models of a grid one that falls into the small category of 2-25 kilograms will soon be assembled at the Tech City for the purpose of being used in agriculture. This undertaking is being carried out as a component of the Tech City Project.
