"The experiment around creation of centres of excellence based on Israeli expertise in agriculture in the state has been a phenomenal success. We want to further deepen this engagement looking to utilise Israeli experience in other fields as well", Gehlot told PTI.
Israel will become the third such country to be provided this special concession by Rajasthan, which has allocated land for promoting Japanese and South Korean technologies in Neemrana.
"Given that local conditions in Rajasthan are quite identical to those in Israel and that there are many shared concerns, I think Rajasthan can benefit immensely from this engagement," he added.
Among the plans being mooted is the setting up of a water management institute, for which the state will provide the infrastructure and make the necessary investments.
