Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel tried a hand on flying a ‘Hexacopter Drone’ on Wednesday after students of the Manendragarh Swami Atmanand English School said: “It is an easy task.”
The Chief Minister was inspecting the school when he met the children in the robotics lab.
Two of them, Dhairya and Avinish, briefed him on the different technical aspects of the Hexacopter Drone made by them. The drone has a camera. It can be used for security and cinematography.
Both urged the Chief Minister to operate the drone. “It is very simple to fly it, Sir,” both said almost in unison.
Baghel could not resist the invitation. The drone was brought to the school ground. Under Dhairya's guidance, Baghel flew the drone to the height of the school building.
He then asked Dhairya: Does it go even higher? Dhairya told him that its range is up to one and a half kilometers in the sky.
The Chief Minister then took the drone to the maximum height. And he slowly landed it on the ground.
Appreciating the technical skills of the children, Baghel wished them a bright future.
Earlier, he played billiards with students Aradhya Yadav and Neeraj Yadav.
