India’s agriculture sector is reliant heavily on traditional methods and has not kept up with the pace of new technology.
Drone technology start-ups are working to change this – one farm at time.

Arunoday Mokharji, a BBC reporter, visited Kancheepuram in Tamil Nadu’s southern state to see how farmers adapt to using the device in their fields.
