AVPL, CSC sign MoU to intergrade drone tech in rural enterprises
AVPL International (AITMC Ventures Ltd) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with CSC e-Governance Services India Ltd (CSC SPV) to integrate drone technology into rural enterprises and empower rural entrepreneurs across the country.
Through this partnership, AVPL International will offer its ‘Viraj UAS’ agri drones, spare parts, and training programmes via CSC’s network of over five lakh village level entrepreneurs. This collaboration will enable the sale and distribution of AVPL’s drone solutions through the CSC digital platform, allowing rural entrepreneurs to access, operate, and earn from drone-based services.
Under the agreement, AVPL International will provide drones and accessories and will also train CSC entrepreneurs and rural youth in drone operations, maintenance, and data-driven agricultural practices. The initiative is designed to create new employment and entrepreneurship opportunities while introducing farmers to modern, precision-based agricultural methods such as spraying, crop monitoring, and yield optimisation.
A media statement said that AVPL International will also extend after-sales support, maintenance, and warranty services for all products sold through CSC. CSC SPV, on its part, will facilitate the onboarding of AVPL’s products on its platform, provide visibility and outreach support, and enable channel partners to effectively deliver these services locally.
Quoting Preet Sandhuu, Founder and Managing Director of AVPL International, and Promoter, Startup Stairs, the statement said: “We have always envisioned a self-reliant and empowered rural India. Through our association with CSC, our mission of creating one drone entrepreneur in every village becomes a significant milestone toward that vision. We remain deeply committed to empowering every CSC centre with drone technology, enabling them to enhance their income, deliver advanced services, and contribute to the technological transformation of rural India.”
