I am now founding an NGO with a focus on Poverty Alleviation / Rural Development in India.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
As part of NGO, I have been looking at ways of collecting independent data on various development projects (Government, NGO and Multilateral agency funded). AP using UAVs seem to be a cost effective option for capturing key data on activities ranging from Infrastructure creation (homes, roads, tanks) to school attendance. I am trying to put together a low cost, high reliability UAV system together with a sustainable business model that can deliver independent data on development projects in Rural India.
