Great to see UP attracting global investment. The Japan Industrial Township near YEIDA could be a game-changer. My only hope is that the vocational education part of the MoU actually leads to skilling our youth for these new industries, not just low-level jobs.

Japan's trust in UP's leadership and infrastructure is a big positive sign. Their companies are known for quality and discipline. If implemented well, this partnership can make UP a manufacturing and tech hub. Jai Hind!

As someone who has worked with Japanese firms, their approach is meticulous. The Centre of Excellence at IIT Kanpur is a smart move. This collaboration on green hydrogen could position India as a leader in future energy solutions. Exciting times!

Promising news, but execution is key. We've seen many MoUs signed before with less on-ground impact. The state government must ensure red tape is truly cut for Japanese investors and that local businesses also get a fair chance to partner.
