Marut Drone Founder Highlights Drones' Help In Reducing Exposure To Pesticides Among Farmers

Prem Kumar Vislawath, Founder of Marut Drone, highlights a critical issue: Over 90 per cent of farmers along the ‘cancer train’ route from Punjab to Rajasthan are at high risk due to pesticide exposure. He said that carrying heavy pesticide cans, inhaling toxic sprays, and using contaminated hands increases cancer risk among them. To protect farmers, Marut Drone innovates agricultural drones to reduce their direct contact with harmful chemicals.
