We can say that the Drone Industry will be in top few Industries / Technology in coming decade to grow highest along with Article Intelligence, Robotics, IoT, 3D Printing, Renewable Energy, Biotechnology in healthcare, Cloud Computing and Battery Operated Vehicles.

 

As per reports of Forbs & Gartner:

Considered in the past as a military weapon, drones are now entering every part of society. Sales of drones to businesses and consumers will more than triple to become a $2 billion market by 2020. Better performing and affordable drones will make their way into our airspace within the next several years.

Drone Market Trends and Forecasts

BI Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service, defines drones as aerial vehicles that can fly autonomously or be piloted by a remote individual. Under that criterion, BI Intelligence expects sales of drones to surpass $12 billion in 2021. That's up by a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.6% from $8.5 billion in 2016.

Production of drones for personal and commercial use is growing rapidly, with global market revenue expected to increase 34 percent to reach more than $6 billion in 2017 and grow to more than $11.2 billion by 2020, according to a new forecast from Gartner, Inc (see Table 1). Almost three million drones will be produced in 2017, 39 percent more than in 2016 (see Table 2).

This growth will occur across the three main segments of the drone industry: Consumer Drones, Enterprise Drones (also known as Commercial Drones), and Government Drones.

Sales of drones: dollars vs. units

There are currently two major markets for drones with very different growth prospects: the military market, which accounts for the vast majority of demand in dollar terms, and the consumer market, which accounts for over 99 percent of all units sold. US Department of Defense spending for drones is forecast to climb at a moderate pace through 2020 due to tight budgets and a shift in focus to smaller, less expensive vehicles. Consumer and commercial applications, on the other hand, are in the early stages of development. Over the next decade, civilian uses are expected to grow at robust rates similar to those posted by smartphones following the introduction of the iPhone in 2007. However, the military will continue to be a key developer of drone technology.

With so many possible uses for drones, there is a wide spectrum of those that want to use them or sell them:

  1. Consumers (photography, toys)
  2. Military & law enforcement
  3. Software companies
  4. Utilities (electric, water, natural gas)
  5. Retailers (Amazon, Best Buy, Toys R Us, Walmart)
  6. Government agencies
  7. Insurance companies (State Farm, Allstate)
  8. Energy suppliers (Exxon Mobil, Shell)
  9. Farmers

Shubh Deepavali...

Dear All,

 

If bright and twinkling diyas were lit for every kind thing you've done; the world would get to see a radiance far more dazzling than the sun!


If sincere gratitude could be put into words, the appreciation would never end; so many are the times you've been there with care and support to lend.

 

If warm wishes were to be made for something wonderful and extra-special that Diwali could impart; it would be for the gifts of contentment, success, joy, beauty and peace to always fill your heart.

 

Let’s celebrate and enjoy the festival of Divine Light and Truth with humility, ethics and love and let’s pray for the happiness & peace all around the globe.

 

Shubh Deepavali …  cid:image001.jpg@01CA4E9A.28487DD0       cid:image004.jpg@01CA4E9A.28487DD0

Very Good Info on SSA

 

Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana – Updated List of Authorised Banks to Open an Account, Specimen Application Form & Passbook


Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana – Updated List of Authorised Banks to Open an Account, Specimen Application Form & Passbook

Posted: 16 Mar 2015 08:41 AM PDT

This post is written by Shiv Kukreja, who is a Certified Financial Planner and runs a financial planning firm, Ojas Capital in Delhi/NCR. He can be reached at skukreja@investitude.co.in

RBI on March 11 issued a Circular to the authorised commercial banks to start observing the rules and regulations of Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana as per the Government of India Notification dated December 2, 2014. This circular has been marked to the Chairman & Managing Directors (CMDs) and Managing Directors (MDs) of some of the commercial banks operating in India.

These banks include most of the public sector banks, including State Bank of India (SBI), Bank of Baroda (BoB) and Punjab National Bank (PNB) and a few private sector banks also, including Axis Bank and ICICI Bank.

RBI has instructed these banks to approach Central Account Section, Reserve Bank of India, Nagpur for necessary arrangements to report Sukanya Samriddhi Account transactions with immediate effect. I think it means the RBI wants these banks to start opening accounts under this scheme without any further delays and the subscribers will not have to wait more to open their accounts. They can now approach these authorised banks to open an account.

Though it is still not clear if only these banks would act as the agency banks to open accounts under this scheme or some other banks would also join in, but it seems the following 28 banks would definitely be among all those banks authorised to open Sukanya Samriddhi Accounts (SSA).

Updated List of Banks to Open Sukanya Samriddhi Yojana Accounts

§ State Bank of India (SBI)

§ State Bank of Patiala (SBP)

§ State Bank of Bikaner & Jaipur (SBBJ)

§ State Bank of Travancore (SBT)

§ State Bank of Hyderabad (SBH)

§ State Bank of Mysore (SBM)

§ Allahabad Bank

§ Andhra Bank

§ Axis Bank

§ Bank of Baroda (BoB)

§ Bank of India (BoI)

§ Bank of Maharashtra (BoM)

§ Canara Bank

§ Central Bank of India (CBI)

§ Corporation Bank

§ Dena Bank

§ ICICI Bank

§ IDBI Bank

§ Indian Bank

§ Indian Overseas Bank (IOB)

§ Oriental Bank of Commerce (OBC)

§ Punjab National Bank (PNB)

§ Punjab & Sind Bank (PSB)

§ Syndicate Bank

§ UCO Bank

§ Union Bank of India

§ United Bank of India

§ Vijaya Bank

RBI also issued a specimen of application form and the passbook for opening an account under this scheme. Unlike the post office application form, this application form would be applicable just for this scheme only.

Here you have the specimen of the application form which the authorised banks/post offices will be using for opening Sukanya Samriddhi Accounts – Application Form

Also, here you have the specimen of the passbook which the authorised banks/post offices will be issuing to the parents/legal guardian of the girl child – Passbook
