About the Summit
As part of the Swarnim Madhya Pradesh Vision 2047, the FPO Directors Summit 2025 was held in Bhopal with a mission to bring together Farmer Producer Organizations (FPOs) from across India. The goal: to expose these key agricultural leaders to innovations in agri-tech and create bridges between grassroots needs and modern solutions.
The summit witnessed participation from over 200 FPO directors, agri-leaders, and organizations working at the intersection of technology and farming. It was organized with the support of the Government of Madhya Pradesh and the Bharatiya Kisan Sangh.
Vaimanika Aerospace’s Participation
Vaimanika Aerospace was invited to the event by Shri Sai Reddy Ji, National President of Bharatiya Kisan Sangh, to showcase its Made-in-India agricultural drone technology.
The team demonstrated how drones can be used for pesticide spraying, crop health monitoring, and data-driven farm planning — reducing costs while improving efficiency and safety.
A Centre of Attention
While several companies showcased their offerings at the summit, Vaimanika’s stall drew the most interest and footfall.
FPO directors engaged in detailed discussions with the Vaimanika team, exploring how drones could be implemented at the ground level to support small and marginal farmers.
As many attendees noted — other booths displayed technology, but Vaimanika demonstrated vision. A vision that is rooted in real-world farmer problems and focused on creating scalable, affordable solutions.
Message Reaches Chief Minister
During the summit, Vaimanika’s mission reached the Hon’ble Chief Minister of Madhya Pradesh, Shri Mohan Yadav Ji.
Shri Sai Reddy Ji personally briefed him on Vaimanika’s efforts, highlighting its impact on sustainable agriculture and farmer income growth.
The Chief Minister appreciated the initiative and emphasized the importance of integrating modern technology like drones into the future of farming. On behalf of Vaimanika, a token of appreciation was also presented, which he graciously accepted.
Stronger Ties with FPOs
The event created an ideal platform for deep engagement with FPO leaders, many of whom showed keen interest in adopting drone-based solutions. Several organizations expressed intent to partner with Vaimanika and initiate pilot programs in their respective regions.
This marks a major milestone in building stronger collaborations between agri-tech innovators and grassroots organizations.
