Japan: Shiga Prefecture strengthens global partnerships for regional growth

Shiga Prefecture partners with Hiyoshi Ecological Services to expand international collaborations, focusing on sustainability and Indian trainee exchanges.

"No borders when it comes to environmental issues. – Hiyoshi Ecological Services"

Tokyo, July 25

To promote regional revitalisation, Shiga Prefecture aims to strengthen its overseas relationships, with Hiyoshi Ecological Services contributing to this policy.

Japanese prefectures are focusing on enhancing ties with Asian countries and India to accelerate regional revitalisation.

In Shiga Prefecture, Governor Taizo Mikazuki is taking the lead in building these international connections. Taizo Mikazuki, Governor of Shiga Prefecture said, "Shiga Prefecture is home to the largest lake in Japan and one of the world's oldest lakes. It has enriched lives by preserving water resources and the natural environment while promoting economic growth. We hope to expand and share this model of a sustainable society."

Governor Mikazuki visited Hiyoshi Ecological Services to learn about its business and its guiding policy: "No borders when it comes to environmental issues."

He received an explanation of the laboratory work, including water quality analysis, dioxin and asbestos testing, food safety analysis, and the detection of harmful elements.

These laboratories represent the core of Hiyoshi's ecological services.

Another key purpose of the Governor's visit was to meet with Indian internship students.

Two Indian postgraduate students are currently training at Hiyoshi Ecological Services. Since 1988, Hiyoshi has accepted more than 1,000 foreign interns and trainees.

Trainee from India, Torel Samyuktha S, "I have gained immense knowledge and I would really, I have experienced a lot".

Sundhar G, Trainee from India said, "If we analyze the food samples we brought from India also. So it is good to learn new technology. So it was a very good experience."

Tadashi Suzuki from Hiyoshi said, "In the past, Japan faced serious challenges with public pollution and sanitation. We anticipated that these issues would become global concerns. Our company worked to solve these problems, and now we aim to share our solutions as a bridge to others. As a result, we believe this will also lead to business development."

Taizo said, "Hiyoshi has built strong mutual exchanges of engineers between India, ASEAN countries, and China. We aim to expand these global connections as much as possible to fulfill our responsibilities."

Hiyoshi Ecological Services has hosted more than 1,000 trainees. After returning to their home countries, they form a vast human network. Governor Mikazuki is strengthening international relations through collaboration with Hiyoshi's overseas network.

As an environmental science student, I'm inspired by these Indian trainees' experiences. More such exchange programs should be established between our countries. Japan's pollution control methods could really help our Ganga cleanup mission!

While this partnership sounds good, I hope our government ensures the technology transfer is fair and benefits both sides equally. We've seen cases where Indian talent is used but knowledge doesn't fully come back to India.

Japan's Lake Biwa model could be perfect for our Dal Lake and Chilika! The focus on sustainable development while preserving nature is exactly what India needs right now. Kudos to these Indian students bringing back valuable knowledge.

Interesting to see Japan reaching out to India for partnerships. Their aging population needs young talent, and we have it in abundance. Win-win situation if handled properly. More states should initiate such collaborations beyond just IT sector.

The food safety analysis part is crucial for India! We need better systems to detect contaminants in our food supply. Hope these trainees will implement what they learned in Japanese labs back home. Our street food vendors need this knowledge too!
