Drone Rules 2021 passed by Civil Aviation Ministry, using drones now easier in India

Drone Rules 2021 replace Unmanned Aircraft Systems Rules

A set of drone rules has been passed by the Ministry of Civil Aviation, replacing the Unmanned Aircraft Systems Rules 2021, which had been brought into force in March this year.

The new rules, made public by way of a new gazette notification, state that drones would from now on require identification numbers unless exempted. 

The Ministry has made it mandatory that a unique identification number for a drone needs to be generated by providing requisite details on the digital sky platform.

However, the new rules have done away with the need for various approvals, including certificate of conformance, maintenance certificate, import clearance, acceptance of existing drones, operator permits, authorization of R&D organization, and student remote pilot license, a Zee News report said.

Drone Rules 2021 makes use of drones much easier

The fee for a remote pilot license has been reduced to Rs 100 for all categories of drones and will be valid for ten years.

The Ministry has also snipped the fee to operate a drone to nominal levels and de-linked from the drone's size. The report added that the drone capacity could go up from 300 kg to 500 kg to include heavy payload-carrying drones and drone taxis.

Significant about the new rules is that they come about as simple norms. Further, the new set of regulations reduces the compliance burden to operate a drone in the country.

The announcement of the new drone rules follows the government's decision to hear the opinion of industry players and stakeholders. The government had called for comments on July 15 this year, and the period to send in the industry and stakeholders' take on the proposed drone rules had ended on August 5. 

With the new set of rules being brought into force, the use of drones has turned a lot easier.

Lathi Charge: A legalised method of police brutality

"Every blow on our bodies this afternoon is like a nail driven into the coffin of British imperialism." These were the precise words of Sher-e-Punjab Lala Lajpat Rai when he got brutally " lathi-charged " by the law enforcers of Colonial India while he was protesting against the Simon Commission in October 1928.  Punjab Kesari Lajpat Rai eventually succumbed to his injuries, and his death gave off the spark for vengeance in the heart of numerous Indian revolutionaries. In December 1928, Shahid-e-Azam Bhagat Singh and his compatriot Shivam Rajguru assassinated the Lahore Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) John Saunders to avenge the murder of their mentor. "Lathi-Charge" has remained one of the most brutal and sensitive issues for Indians since the bygone days of the Indian National Movement. Thus, even after 75 years of liberation, India and her children continue to writhe under pain brought on by police brutality and paranoia. Both the Indian Penal...

" India is an over populous country. " This statement is hardly news to anyone, but very few of us know that the average age of an Indian is just 29 years old. Hence, India is a fairly young country with a strong demographic dividend. However, the ambitions and dreams of millions of Indians lie stranded despite their ability and competence. Each new year brings fresh new hopes for millions of aspirants. These young people have expressed their strong will by deciding to dedicate the prime of their youth to preparing for numerous government examinations. In a country where social class divisions continue to be a notable phenomenon in determining one's future, Government jobs and recruitments offer the only genuine means for attaining an egalitarian society.

The problem of the youth, in essence, is the problem of the nation, and it is high time we illustrated the gr...

The Supreme Court bench rendered Sanjay Mishra's tenure extension illegal because it went against their previous verdict.
