The prime minister Narendra Modi surprised many on Friday the 27th of May 2022 when he disclosed that he uses drone technology extensively to monitor projects across the nation.

The occasion was inauguration of biggest drone festival, the Bharat Drone Mahotsava in the capital.

PM Modi said he interacts with Chief Secretaries of every state, every month for Pragati meeting.

“I urge them (Chief Secretaries) to give me a live demonstration of ongoing projects,” Modi said.

“To monitor the quality of government work, I do not need to tell in advance I am coming for inspection.. I can send a drone, it brings all information and they do not even know I have gathered the information,” the Prime Minister said.

The Prime Minister also said that he monitored the development work in Kedarnath using drones as it was not possible for him to physically visit the region.

“We are going to witness more use of drones in future. I used to regularly monitor Kedarnath development work during review meetings. Today I can see the quality of government work with the help of drones. It’s not essential that I go there physically, else everything will be made alright there. I send drones and get details without anyone coming to know about it,” he said.
