Agri-insurance, a loss-stabilizing measure among farmers, is a complex process in a diverse democracy like India with varied sociocultural norms and weather anomalies. The advent of emerging civilian unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) innovations in agri-insurance has simplified crop damage assessment, crop cutting experiment, and claim settlement. The deployment and governance of the civilian UAVs involve diverse actors and stakeholders. The responsible innovation (RI) approach, which takes care of emerging technology, governance, and sustainability issues, explores the challenges of civilian UAV innovations amidst varied culture-specific values in Indian society. An extensive literature survey is conducted by deploying a literature survey questionnaire. Gathered literature is analyzed to fulfill the objectives of sustainability in agri-insurance innovations. The findings highlight that the evolving regulations and laws make UAV governance intricate. However, the dimensions of RI, anticipation, deliberation, reflexivity, participation, and responsiveness help in responsible collaboration among actors and stakeholders of UAV innovations in agri-insurance applications. The different features of civilian UAVs promote safety, privacy, autonomy, transparency, trust, and accountability, further juxtaposing social, economic, and environmental sustainability. Training to pilots, adhering to prescribed regulations, and involving local farmers and stakeholders promote the responsible deployment of civilian UAVs.
