BHAARTI: Revolutionising Agriculture and Aviation

“BHAARTI is a game-changer for Bihar’s rural landscape, where my roots lie. By empowering women with drone technology, it fosters self-dependence and strengthens their connection to their motherland. While technology isn’t my domain, I see its potential to transform Bihar’s agrarian economy. By merging tech with rural economics, BHAARTI can drive holistic development and upliftment in the state,” Shipra Mishra, Young Leader of BHAARTI.

Fliteline Aviation Academy (FAA) is an academy, currently engaged in the various short and mid-term aviation related courses under the approval of Aerospace and Aviation Sector Skill Council and managed by aviation professionals having accumulative experience of over 100 years.

Establishing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bihar Agricultural University, Sabour, FAA represents a pivotal milestone on the path of development. Our partnership aims to merge the university’s scientific research capabilities with Fliteline’s cutting-edge drone technology to address the unique agricultural challenges of Bihar. Through rigorous training programs, data-driven research, and hands-on demonstrations, we are determined to equip the next generation of farmers and agronomists with the skills and knowledge they need to thrive in an increasingly tech-focused world.
