She noted that the RPTO aims to position Hisar as a hub for drone training, fostering regional skill development and opening career pathways across industries such as agriculture, logistics, infrastructure, environmental monitoring, and security.
This approval follows AVPL International's earlier initiatives to invest in drone education and technology. The company had announced plans to invest USD 12 million to strengthen its training infrastructure and enhance drone manufacturing capabilities, responding to the growing demand for skilled professionals in the sector.
By establishing the RPTO in Hisar, AVPL International not only contributes to the expansion of drone technology education but also helps address the regional skill gap.
