Embassy of Israel Shares Smart Agriculture Practices & Donates Drip Irrigation Kit On Good Deeds Day

The Embassy of Israel and Mashav India, in collaboration with Jain Irrigation Pvt Ltd, has donated a family drip irrigation kit to Shaurya Foundation Trust in Haryana for the empowerment of persons with special needs.

This initiative was organized on the occasion of Good Deeds Day and to celebrate 30 years of Diplomatic Relations between Israel and India.

Good Deeds Day is a global movement of people who are dedicated to doing good. Since 2007, millions of people and thousands of organizations from over 108 countries unite annually to volunteer and #DoGood. Initiated in 2007 by philanthropist and businesswoman Shari Arison, the first Good Deeds Day kicked off with 7,000 volunteers in Israel.  

The drip irrigation kit will be used for the education and skill development of persons with special needs. This Israeli-invented technology will make them aware of smart agricultural technologies and water conservation. 

These skills will also help them in becoming self-sufficient for their future endeavors.

Plants were also donated on this occasion. The Embassy and Mashav India will provide technical know-how to the trainers of the Trust, who will then implement it on the ground. This will lead to optimal water usage and conservation in the area.

Orly Goldschmidt, Head of Public Diplomacy, Embassy of Israel in India said, “We couldn’t have found a better match than Shaurya Foundation Trust to partner on this International Good Deeds Day.

I am really happy that we could play a small part in this important project, by offering them a Drip Irrigation System and allowing them to use it to give more skills to their people with special needs. Looking forward to seeing the fruits of this partnership.”
