DRONE DELIVERY OF COVID-19 VACCINES

Subject : Governance

Context: Drone use Permission to Telangana Government for Experimental delivery of Covid-19 Vaccines.

Concept :

  • Ministry of Civil Aviation (MoCA) and Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) have granted conditional exemption for drone deployment to the Government of Telangana.
  • The drone usage permission has been granted for conducting experimental delivery of Covid-19 vaccines within Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) Range using drones.
  • The permission exemption is valid for a period of one year or until further orders.
  • Earlier this month, similar permission was granted to the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) for conducting feasibility study of Covid-19 vaccine delivery using drones in collaboration with IIT Kanpur.

The grant of these permissions is intended to achieve the dual objectives of faster vaccine delivery & improved healthcare access by:

  • Ensuring primary healthcare delivery at the citizen’s doorstep
  • Limiting human exposure to COVID congested or COVID prone areas through aerial delivery
  • Ensuring access to health care to the last mile, especially in remote areas
  • Possible integration into the middle mile of medical logistics for long range drones
  • Improving medical supply chain, especially with a third vaccine expected to be commissioned and millions of doses to be transported across India
