Professors from Bengaluru's Indian Institute of Science held their first trial to drop 50,000 seeds using drones in Karnataka's Kolar district. The team aims to plant an entire forest using drone seeding techniques in the next three years. They plan to use aerial imaging and science to monitor the growth of seeds every few months.
