As earlier, we revealed a team of researchers from the Madras Institute of Technology is using drones, mentored by Ajith Kumar to sanitize large areas with disinfectants amid COVID-19. The team Daksha is helping Tamil Nadu by using the technology that was mentored by Thala Ajith. Team Daksha is backed by Viswasam actor and recently, Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister CN Ashwathnarayan hailed his efforts. He tweeted, "Kudos to Team #Dhaksha, mentored by filmstar #AjithKumar, for developing a way to sanitize large areas against COVID-19 via disinfectant drones. Time and again, technology has proven to be critical in the fight against #COVID-19! (sic)."

The drone is usually used for agriculture, surveillance, etc but in tough times due to COVID-19, team Daksha has joined hands with the Tamil Nadu government to spray disinfectants over large segments of the state to curb the spread of coronavirus.
