Since 2010 with the launch of Parrot AR, drones have become consumer technology and are being used everywhere from movie shootings, wedding videography and scientific activity like mapping. The ability of drones to reach places where humans can’t directly reach means it could be used for monitoring operations, delivery of goods and even be potentially misused for violence. India has banned import of drones since 2014 and has legally allowed drone usage only after Dec 1st 2018 when Director General of Civil Aviation brought the rules regulating Remotely Piloted Aircrafts. In this episode Shashank Srinivasan of Technology for Wildlife takes us through how these regulations are working.
