Andhra Pradesh Govt. Distributes Drones to Farmers
The government is giving farmers special flying robots called drones to help them with their work!
These drones can spray the plants with medicine much faster than people can, which saves time and money.
The government is also helping pay for these drones, so farmers don't have to pay as much.
Using drones helps the crops grow better and keeps bugs away.
