COE KVK BARAMATI

In May 2012, an overall MoU was signed between the Dutch and Indian Agricultural ministries and work plans were defined. In these work plans, India and the Netherlands agreed to make available Dutch agro-knowledge, technology, research and education for the Indian food production and processing sectors. Furthermore, the governments agreed to support public-private collaborative projects between the two countries. The concept of a Centre of Excellence as proposed in the Action Plan is a showcase and knowledge repository of the best-in-class Netherlands technical practices in the product/ area in focus, as relevant to the Indian context. The CoE are structures in which various development projects implemented by the State Governments can be captured.
