Multicopters are known for their stability, maneuverability, and ability to hover, making them popular for various applications", he added.

Highlighting that the training programme would cover the practical aspects of building and assembling a multicopter drone, Dr A Bablu said, "This would involve learning about the different components, understanding their functions, and then physically assembling them according to a specific design or instructions" .

Speaking on the occasion as the president, Ulhas Kulkarni, national executive member of RSS, said that drone technology is rapidly expanding across various sectors due to its versatility and ability to perform tasks in challenging environments.

"Drones offer significant advantages in areas like agriculture, surveillance, delivery, disaster relief, and environmental monitoring, among others", he added.

Ulhas Kulkarni also lauded NIELIT for empowering youth of Manipur through various initiatives focused on skill development and capacity building in IT and electronics.
