New Delhi, Feb 21: A delegation led by
Israeli Ambassador to India Daniel Carmon met Development of North Eastern
Region (DoNER) Minister Jitendra Singh, here on Wednesday and discussed issues
of common interest including start-ups, food processing, innovation and
technology.
According to an official statement, Mr Carmon informed Dr
Singh that a Centre for Agriculture, with Israeli expertise was going to be
inaugurated in Mizoram on March 7, the first such centre in the North East
region being established with Israeli collaboration.
Dr Singh said this centre was the beginning of the larger collaboration between the two countries in this area and DoNER would coordinate wherever required.
He further said it would benefit the farmers of the NE region in the long run and also encourage farmers from other regions.
It would serve as a model of learning for other countries in the Indian sub-continent, he added.
He said Sikkim had been declared the first organic state of the country and Israel could look forward to this kind of collaboration there also. It would benefit the people of the region in the area of innovation, specially for start-ups.
Established at a cost of around Rs 10 crore, the Centre for Agriculture was exclusively for processing of citrus fruits. The project has been set up with the tripartite collaboration of Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare, Government of Israel and State Government of Mizoram. The country would provide expertise, knowledge and professional support.
Though located in Mizoram, this centre would cater to the whole of the region. UNI
