Rico Carty, who won the 1970 NL batting title with the Atlanta Braves, has diedIn the fertile fields of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh, a quiet technological revolution is transforming agricultural practices. Farmers like Muralidhar Kasala from Daulatabad, Sangareddy have turned to drone technology to overcome challenges like labour shortages, uneven fertilisation and health risks. “I pay Rs 400 per acre for drone services. Earlier, hiring six labourers per acre used to cost Rs 800 daily, and manual spraying often caused respiratory problems. Now, drones have saved me time, money, and health,” he says. The benefits are resonating widely, including in Nalgonda’s Peddavoora mandal. Vamshi Veeriah, a farmer from Gannekunta village, shares how drones have become indispensable on his farm. “Earlier, pest infestations and uneven spraying would lead to crop loss. I could only react after the damage was done. Now, with drones, I can act early because the data tells me exactly where the problem lies. The precision is incredible. Every corner of the field is covered, unlike manual spraying where some areas are missed”, he explains, visibly delighted. In Kadapa district, Siva Reddy Sunkesula finds the service model of drones particularly invaluable. “Owning a drone is not feasible for me but with this service, I only pay when I need it. Tasks like spraying, which used to take days and a lot of labour, are now done in hours. I’ve seen my yield improve by at least 15 per cent, and it’s much less stressful,” he says. He also highlights the health benefits, saying, “With manual spraying, I would end up inhaling chemicals. Drones eliminate that risk entirely.” These stories are part of a larger transformation driven by Hyderabad-based start-ups like Marut Drones, which is pioneering the ‘Drone as a service’ (DaaS) model. Farmers can access precision services such as pesticide spraying, fertiliser broadcasting and crop monitoring without having to purchase, get trained or maintain the equipment. “Our aim is to make drone technology accessible and affordable for all farmers, no matter the size of their fields,” says Prem Kumar Vislawath, CEO and co-founder of Marut Drones. For farmers like Veeriah, the value lies in precision and efficiency. “The drone can do in two hours what used to take days with labourers. And it’s not just about speed—drones ensure accurate spraying, so there’s no wastage of fertilisers or pesticides,” he reasons, Siva Reddy adds that drones have improved his resource management. “I now know exactly how much water or pesticide is needed and where thanks to the data provided by drones. This has helped reduce my costs significantly while increasing my output.” Companies like Marut Drones work with farmer-producer organisations (FPOs), Krishi Vigyan Kendras (KVKs) and agricultural universities to educate farmers on using drones effectively. Government initiatives like the Kisan drone scheme, which provides financial subsidies for adopting drone technology, further reduce the entry barrier. “Our collaboration with local organisations ensures that farmers understand the long-term benefits of this technology,” says Vislawath, while adding, “It’s not just a tool—it’s a way to make farming sustainable and profitable.” Currently operating in 18 states, Marut Drones aims to extend its reach nationwide by 2025. With over 200 drones already sold and 35 dealers on the ground, they plan to deploy 500 drones and establish 100 dealerships to support farmers more effectively. The company is also exploring applications beyond agriculture, including infrastructure inspections, firefighting, and drone deliveries. For farmers across the Telugu states, drones are more than just machines—they are a symbol of modernisation. “Drones have completely changed how we farm. I can’t imagine going back to the old ways,” says Vamshi Veeriah.

Target just recently kicked off its official Target Black Friday Sale , and one deal you might have missed is this really awesome MEGA Microsoft Xbox 360 Collector Building Set . It's normally $150 but there's a 50% discount for Black Friday that drops it to only $74.99. MEGA is similar to LEGO, but the brand (which is owned by Mattel) creates sets for IPs that don't have a relationship with the other famous big block company. Some past and present examples include Pokemon, Star Trek, Halo, and, in this case, Microsoft Xbox. This would make an incredible gift idea for any gaming fan who loves working on complex building block kits like LEGO. The MEGA Microsoft Xbox 360 Collector Building Set is a buildable 3:4 scale replica of the Xbox 360 console with a brick count total of 1,342 pieces (5.5 cents per brick). The details in this build are, frankly, incredible, and include interactive elements, lighting effects, and the coolest accessories. Here's a rundown of the biggest highlights: The Xbox console exterior is well represented with details like a removable hard drive, ventilation holes in the rear, text in the right places, and lighting effects. Unfortunately, there's no option to swap in a red ring of death. The Xbox console internals are just as faithfully reproduced as the exterior. There's a tray to pop in the supplied Xbox game disc (we'll get to this later), the motherboard, various heatsinks and doodads all connected by wires, and even a fancy little Cortana chip. It's also easy to get into the console (just press a little green button). The set includes an authentic looking mini Halo 3 game disc complete with a detailed Halo game box that looks just like the real thing. That's not even the best part. You can place the Halo disc into the console's internal disc tray and it will light up the Cortana chip inside. How cool is that!?! The Xbox controller has a removable battery pack. When you slide in the battery pack, the controller's guide button lights up. That's because the light brick is installed in the battery itself. So why the big price drop? According to the user reviews, the fit and finish of the bricks is not as good as LEGO sets, so the build process won't go as smoothly (you might even need to whip out the Kragle). But once you're done, I'm sure you'll appreciate the incredible amount of authentic features that the designers put into this set. If you want to keep your building block collection strictly LEGO, check out our guide to all of the best LEGO Black Friday deals available right now. There are plenty of big discounts on sets for all ages from multiple retailers, including LEGO Shop, Amazon, Best Buy, and of course, Target. We’re in the home stretch: Black Friday falls on November 29 this year. All month long, retailers have been rolling out sales, ramping up to massive discounts on Black Friday and through the weekend into Cyber Monday. There are already some fantastic deals available on PS5 consoles and controllers , video games for all platforms, AirPods Pro , and tons more.
