Meghalaya government has entered into a partnership with Israel to establish a one of a kind Centre of Excellence(CoE) on high-value vegetables in the state to improve and promote the livelihoods of farmers.

Benefits of CoE

  • Considering the State has a gene pool of important vegetables, fruits and plants like Citrus fruits in Nokrek, East Garo Hills District, the CoE will act as
    a stimulus for more research work and also for expansion into multi-fold aspects including tourism potential.
  • By generating/propagating seedlings through Quality Planting Materials, CoE is likely to create a meaningful impact.
  • It will enhance cultivation by introducing techniques and technology support and creating water harvesting and conservation initiatives.
  • To address the marketing issue, it will explore the possibility to establish a State of the Art Packing House.

Important takeaways for all competitive exams:

  • Meghalaya Chief Minister: Conrad Sangma.
  • Meghalaya Governor: Satya Pal Malik.
  • Meghalaya Capital: Shillong.
  • Israel Capital: Jerusalem
  • Israel Currency: Israeli Shekel
