“Welcome to the Drone Technology Lab at the Centre of Excellence, Maharana Pratap Institute of Technology (MPIT), Gorakhpur. Our vision is to create a world-class ecosystem for drone education, innovation, and skill development by bridging the gap between academic learning and real-world applications. The lab provides hands-on exposure to diverse UAV platforms, including quadcopters, surveillance drones, agricultural drones, FPV drones, and hybrid eVTOL systems, supported by drone assembly & integration infrastructure, flight simulators, advanced payloads, precision imaging systems, and testing facilities. Through industry-oriented training, certification programs, R&D, startup incubation, product development, and capacity-building initiatives, we aim to nurture future-ready professionals, innovators, and entrepreneurs while contributing to national priorities such as Skill India, Startup India, Atmanirbhar Bharat, and Viksit Bharat. We invite students, researchers, industry, and government organizations to collaborate with us in shaping the future of unmanned aerial technologies.”
