For the first time, apples will be transported by drone in Kinnaur

Jun 30, 2023

drone training government institute agriculture sector IIT Mandi

Shimla: For the first time in Himachal Pradesh, the work of transporting apples to the market in Kinnaur will be done by drones. After the successful trial of apple transportation by drone last year, the private company will provide the facility to the orchardists this year.

The drone will take 8 minutes to cover 10 km of aerial distance with 5 boxes of 20 kg each. The proposed fare for this has been fixed at Rs 6 per kg.

Most of the apple orchards in Kinnaur are situated on the Kanda (top of the hill). There are no roads in remote areas, due to which the gardeners face difficulty in transporting the crop from the gardens to the main road. Where it takes more time to transport with laborers, at the same time more wages have to be paid.

Drones will solve these problems. Kinnaur produces 30 to 50 lakh boxes of apples annually. Himachal is the first state in the country to make a drone policy.

So far, medicines are being delivered to people in Mandi, Chamba and Lahaul-Spiti, and other remote areas by drones. Samples are also being called for health checkup.

In Kinnaur, drone services will be made available to orchardists for transporting apples from August. For this, a drone with a lifting capacity of 100 kg will be used.

The drone will cover 10 km aerial distance in 7 to 8 minutes. The proposed fare has been fixed at Rs. Although it can also be cut. Ankit Kumar, CEO, Sky Air

Successful trial took place last year

In November last year, a successful trial of transporting apples by drone took place in Nichar, Kinnaur.
In the Mann Ki Baat programme, PM Narendra Modi has mentioned about transporting apples from Kinnaur through drones.

According to mythology and beliefs, the Pandavas stayed here for some time during their exile. According to religious legends, the Kauravas also reached here while chasing the Pandavas.

Then Shangchul Mahadev stopped the Kauravas and said that this is my area, no one can harm anyone who comes here. It is believed that after hearing this, the Kauravas returned out of fear of Mahadev.

Since then it is believed that whoever comes to this temple will be considered as a refugee of Mahadev and no one can harm him in any way.

Such loving couples, whose love is not accepted by the society and family members, find shelter in this temple and stay safe here.

Temple Priests Take Care

Let us tell you that the lovers who come to this temple for the purpose of getting married are treated as guests and the priests of the temple take care of them until their families agree to the marriage of both.

It is believed that as long as a loving couple stays within the limits of this temple, even their family members cannot do anything to them.
