New Delhi: The cases of Coronavirus infection in the country are now continuously decreasing. Meanwhile, the campaign of Corona Vaccination is also going on in the country on a large scale. The government is now also working on a plan to make this vaccination campaign easily accessible to remote areas. Under this, the government is now planning to deliver the vaccine of coronavirus through Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) ie Drones in those remote areas of the country, where the roads are inaccessible or where it is difficult to reach. This has been said in the research done by IIT Kanpur.
At present, the government company HLL Lifecare does the work of buying corona vaccine for the government in the country. Its subsidiary HLL Infra Tech Services Limited has invited tenders on June 11 on behalf of the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) to deliver the corona vaccine to the remote areas of the country. Right now only Telangana was working on the idea of delivering the corona vaccine through drones.
ICMR has also done a complete study about these drones being seen to deliver corona vaccines in inaccessible areas. Under this, those drones will be used for this work, which can go up to 35 km. Also can fly up to a height of 100 meters.
It is mentioned in the document that ICMR has done research in this regard in collaboration with IIT-Kanpur. In this, he saw whether the corona vaccine could be delivered to the inaccessible areas of the country through drones. This test of ICMR was successful.
It is also mentioned in the document that ICMR has prepared a standard protocol for the successful supply of corona vaccines through drones. Along with this, ICMR is also working on preparing a model of the drone used to deliver the vaccine in inaccessible areas.
According to the information, these drones will be able to fly directly in the sky and can carry goods weighing 4 kg. Along with this, they will also be able to bring the vaccine to the designated center and come back to the station or center from there. The take-off and landing of the drone will be based on the guidelines of DGCA. It will not have a parachute-based delivery system.
