India, Israel to inaugurate Center of Excellence in Haryana's Ramnagar
New Delhi, Nov 9 (IBNS): India and Israel will inaugurate a Center of Excellence (CoE) for Integrated Beekeeping Development in Ramnagar in Haryana on Friday.
The CoE is one of 18 fully operational centers in the Indo-Israeli Agricultural Project IIAP.
It will be the 14th MASHAV-MIDH center to be inaugurated in India and the 4th in Haryana.
The Beekeeping center in Ramnagar is the first of its kind between India and Israel, and will address Queen Rearing, Quality Control Labs, Enhanced Production, Honey Production Value Chain, Pollination and more.
Among the dignitaries attending the event will be Union Minister for Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Radha Mohan Singh, Chief Minister of Haryana Manohar Lal Khattar, Minister of Agriculture and Farmers Welfare of Haryana Om Prakash Dhankar, and Ambassador of Israel to India Daniel Carmon.
On the eve of the inauguration, Ambassador Daniel Carmon commented, “Centers of Excellence are an integral part of India and Israel’s growing partnership. Haryana is one of the first to implement this tool for its farmers, and has more IIAP centers than any other state. I hope to see more states open IIAP centers across India, and that the private sector too joins us in the endeavour to bring advanced agro-technology to Indian farmers.”
India and Israel are celebrating 25 years of relations in 2017.
The Indo-Israeli Agricultural Project is a cooperation between the Indian Federal Government, Indian State Governments and Israel’s Agency for International Development Cooperation – MASHAV.
The project is currently active in nine states across India, and will include seven more states in the next phase of the project.
