India's agricultural sector has generally not kept pace with new technologies and relies heavily on traditional methods.
But start-ups specializing in drone technology are trying to change that, one farm at a time.
These companies encourage farmers to use drones to monitor crop health and spray them with fertilizers and pesticides. The trend comes amid the federal government's ambitious plan to make India a drone hub by 2030.
The BBC's Arunoday Mukharji traveled to the Kancheepuram district in the southern state of Tamil Nadu to understand how farmers are adapting to working with the device in their fields.
