Drones to keep surveillance over Odisha's 480 km-long coastline
The New Indian Express Sambalpur
|May 12, 2025
WITH drones and unmanned aerial vehicles beginning to play a frontal role in warfare and surveillance as displayed in the latest attacks between India and Pakistan, Odisha Police has begun to deploy high-performance drones to keep a watch from the sky on the state's 480 km-long coastline.
In the first phase, 10 drones have been pressed into service. The drones, equipped with advanced features, are significantly quieter and remain inaudible, sources said.
"A tender was floated and at least seven bidders had participated. An Indian company was awarded the contract which supplied 10 highly sophisticated drones. The drones can record videos and capture images from a height of about 1 km," said a senior police officer.

The Alpha School Project: A Daring Innovation
The Alpha Schools enterprise is a highly innovative experiment in school education in the US that commenced in 2014 based essentially on the use of AI. It is a bold departure from the traditional. Its essential features focus on personalised learning, efficiency, and holistic development. Founded in Austin, Texas, the Alpha School challenges the conventional modelwhere students endure lengthy lectures across fragmented subjects-by reallocating time to AI-powered learning and essential life skills. This for-profit private institution is crafting footprints in other cities. It also plans potential charter school integrations for broader access. It has at the same time sparked a debate: Is it a transformative force or a fleeting experiment?
