Each trainee will receive Rs 25,000 worth of training, funded through Corporate Social Responsibility contributions.
Trainees will have the chance to secure jobs or start their own businesses, with potential roles including surveys, event photography, and agricultural applications.
Each trained participant will receive a drone, which can be used or rented out for various purposes.
