We’re thrilled to share that Project MANAS has won the IGNITE Prize at the National Innovation Challenge for Drone Application & Research (NIDAR) 2026, the first edition of India’s largest national drone innovation challenge hosted by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and Drone Federation India (DFI) under the SwaYaan initiative, for its Precision Agriculture problem statement!

With over 351 registered teams, 100 of which qualified for the finals, we stood among the top 8 and won a cash prize of INR 1,00,000.

This journey was one of a kind; we faced many challenges that taught us lessons in perseverance and hard work through thick and thin, with last-minute ideas and strategy implementation, which, in the end paid off.
