Gandhinagar: Kaushalya – The Skill University (KSU) has been awarded the “type certificate” for its Kaushalya drone, marking a significant milestone in drone technology and skill development.
The certification, mandated by the Director General of Civil Aviation for drones above 250g, was issued on Feb 15 following a rigorous evaluation of design, components, and testing facilities.
KSU’s recognition as a drone manufacturer aligns with its commitment to innovation and skill enhancement.
Chief minister Bhupendra Patel praised KSU’s dedication to skill development during the prototype’s unveiling at the National Conference on Drone Technology last March. The drone will be made at the Drone MANTRA facility, which can manufacture 1,000 such drones.
The drones will initially be used for captive requirements to scale up affordable drone pilot training facilities in the state. The drones will also replace outdated models and support training centres in and beyond the state, with plans to establish 19 new facilities.
