S Jaishankar, Minister of External Affairs, unveiled the Bhoodan Grove plaque at the Jerusalem Forest.
With the goal of maintaining Mahatma Gandhi's concept of the village as the basic unit of development, Indian leaders who were exploring ways to implement the socialist ideals of the Sarvodaya movement, namely the ideals of Bhoodan and Gramdan, made several visits to Israel to study the social structure of various forms of Israel's communal and cooperative institutions — 'Kibbutzim and Moshavim.'
The Jewish National Fund presented Dr. Jaishankar with a certificate after the plaque was unveiled at Bhoodan Grove.
