The Embassy of Israel in India, Mashav India and Jain Drip Irrigation Private Limited chose a unique style to observe the 30th anniversary of the diplomatic ties between the two countries. On Tuesday, Orly Goldschmidt, Head of Public Diplomacy, Embassy of Israel in India, handed over a family drip irrigation kit to Shaurya Foundation Trust in Haryana launched by Ravi and Rani Gupta to help their son born with autism. Tuesday happened to be Good Deeds Day, an occasion paramount importance to the Jewish community.
The donation of the family drip irrigation system to the Foundation was part of the Israeli Embassy’s mission for empowerment of persons with special needs.
“The drip irrigation kit will be used towards education and skill development of persons with special needs. This Israeli-invented technology will make them aware about smart agricultural technologies and water conservation. These skills will also help them in becoming self-sufficient for their future endeavours,” said a spokesman of the Embassy.
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, said the spokesman.
“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 in order to give more skills to their people with special needs. Looking forward to seeing the fruits of this partnership,” said Goldschmidt.
Parents of children with down syndrome and autism need not get upset or worried about their future as Shaurya has an ecosystem to make them complete citizens. “Students with Down Syndrome can communicate, while those with Autism have the innate ability to produce and perform repetitive activities- they turn out to be great bakers and data entry specialists. Every student is analysed in this manner to understand and assess their strengths and make use of them in the best way possible,” said Rubina, director, Shaurya.
