Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu announced that the state will become the “Drone Capital of India” during the Amaravati Drone Summit 2024, held in Mangalagiri. As part of his vision to make Andhra Pradesh a leader in drone technology, Naidu revealed plans to allocate 300 acres of land in Orvakal, Kurnool District, for a dedicated drone hub. This initiative aims to make Andhra Pradesh the top destination for drone manufacturing, innovation, and research.

In addition to developing the drone hub, Naidu also outlined an ambitious plan to train 35,000 drone pilots to meet the growing demand for skilled professionals in this industry. “Drones will play a crucial role in agriculture, healthcare, traffic management, and even disaster relief,” Naidu said, pointing to the use of drones during the recent floods in Vijayawada, where they delivered food and water to stranded people.

During the two-day summit, Naidu promised that within 15 days, the state government would release a comprehensive drone policy designed to attract drone manufacturers and create a business-friendly environment for innovators. This policy will make Andhra Pradesh a testing ground for drone applications, with successful pilot projects set to expand across the state and the country.

He assured that drones would be used extensively in police work for surveillance and monitoring, especially to keep an eye on criminal activities.

Reflecting on his role in driving India’s IT revolution in the 1990s, Naidu shared how his initiatives, such as launching Hyderabad’s HiTech City through a public-private partnership, helped establish the city as a major technology hub. He credited his collaboration with Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee for opening up India’s telecom sector, which paved the way for the country’s mobile technology boom. “Back then, we brought global tech giants like Microsoft to India, and now, we’re doing the same with drones,” Naidu said.

The Chief Minister praised the current leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, stating, “India is on track to becoming the third-largest economy by 2047 under Modi’s leadership, and with initiatives like JAM (Jan Dhan, Aadhaar, Mobile) and Ayushman Bharat, we’ve strengthened the country’s digital and healthcare infrastructure.”

As Devara release date is nearing (September 27), the excitement level of fans is also soaring high. Fans can’t wait to see the epic pairing of Janhvi Kapoor and Jr NTR on the big screen in Devara: Part 1. As anticipation gears up, grapevine suggest that the story of the Telugu film is based on a real-life story. Is the Koratala Siva directorial, which also stars Saif Ali Khan and Prakash Raj among others based on a true story? Here’s what we know!

Is Devara: Part 1 based on true story?

If the grapevine is to be believed, the highly anticipated movie is based on a real-life tragic incident that affected thousands of people in Andhra Pradesh. Fans believe since writer-director Koratala Siva has a knack of taking inspiration from real-life historical incidents in his films, this could indeed be true. They think the story of the film could be roughly inspired from the infamous and tragic Karamchedu massacre that happened in Andhra Pradesh in 1985.

All about 1985 Karamchedu massacre that reportedly inspired Devara: Part 1

It is being said that the movie will show the 1985 Karamchedu massacre wherein a Dalit colony called Madigapalle was attacked by a huge group of dominant caste Kammas in Karamchedu in Andhra Pradesh’s Prakasam district. Kammas were armed with deadly weapons and ended up killing six men and raping three women. The feud started with a Madiga woman over drinking water tank. Will Devara showcase the true story of Karamchedu massacre? Well, that remains to be seen.

Devara: Part 1 plot

As per the official synopsis, the film’s story is set in the 1980s and 1990s and follows the lead character named Devara, who is a brave man living in a coastal village.
