Drone Technology for Nepal
How Darshan Infosys R&D is Transforming Nepal’s Agriculture through UAV Intelligence
In the rugged landscapes of Nepal, traditional farming faces two major threats: a shrinking labor force and the increasing unpredictability of climate change. At **Darshan Infosys**, our Research & Development team is building a data-driven bridge to food security.
### Core Innovation Pillars
* **Precision Spraying:** Our drones use Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) technology, requiring 90% less water and reducing chemical use by nearly 30%.
* **NDVI Crop Health Analysis:** Identify nutrient deficiencies or water stress 10–14 days before a human scout can see them.
* **LiDAR Topography:** Creating 3D "digital twins" of the land to design smart irrigation systems that prevent soil erosion.
