To represent drone operators by promoting safety and a reasonable regulatory environment in India

Drones have been around for many years, but for the longest time they were inaccessible to the general public. They were used for military or scientific research purposes and their cost was prohibitively high.

The situation changed dramatically when companies, exploiting advances in technology, began producing inexpensive and reliable flying machines that were easy to operate and capable of capturing high-quality still and video images. The appeal to a large and diverse audience was considerable. The popularity of drones and their rapid adoption generated concern about control of their operation in an airspace traditionally occupied by manned aircraft, where only a very small number of unmanned aerial vehicles had operated.
