The Israeli official was visiting the farms to shortlist the locations for the CoE. They will be opened both in the Jammu division and in the Kashmir valley.
The director of Jammu and Kashmir’s agricultural department, KK Sharma said, “We are elated that Israel will set up two CoE here.”
The ruling BJP at the Centre has also welcomed Israel’s interest in Jammu and Kashmir’s agricultural sector.
This comes as a major initiative by Israel after the abrogation of Article 370 and 35A.
Meanwhile, J&K BJP chief Ravinder Raina told India Today that Israel's interest in the agriculture sector in J&K is a stern message to Pakistan. He added that the Jewish nation is India’s trusted partner and has stood with us through “thick and thin".
