Delighted to host a student delegation from #Japan in collaboration with @IndiaDST as part of the DST-INSPIRE MANAK Exposure Visit @InspireManak! This initiative is part of DST's partnership with the Japan Science and Technology Agency #JST. The visiting students interacted with scientists, educators, and industry professionals during this 5-day programme. The programme marked an important step in strengthening Indo-Japanese collaboration in science and technology, youth engagement, and cultural exchange.

Under the @InspireManak of @IndiaDST, school students from Japan visited India (22–26 Dec 2025). Anchored by @IISERPune, the program offered exposure to labs, innovation hubs, industry & culture, sowing the seeds of partnership between students of both countries. @IndianEmbTokyo
