Greater Noida: Gautam Buddha University has signed an agreement with Empowering Anirvana, a subsidiary of Anirvana Advisory Japan, Japan to run a Japanese Language and Culture program at University to give an added opportunity to GBU’s students and students from other Universities in the Delhi NCR region who are interested to have an added skill to get more opportunities in getting jobs in India and abroad especially in Japan. The Parties have agreed to engage in a broad spectrum of joint activities in training and developing Japanese Language & Cultural skills among the students of Gautam Buddha University under One Year certificate course in Japanese Language & Culture. The potential areas of collaboration include training, development and capacity building in Japanese Language and Culture for enhancing skills and employability of the students of GBU.

Here, it is important to mention that Anirvana Advisory Japan was established in Japan in collaboration with Hamamatsu Japan Language College, Shizouka City, Japan with a vision to empower the youth of India by building a collaborative bi-lateral bridge between Japan and India, helping them to enable themselves for the potential 500,000+ job opportunities in Japan in various industry verticals across Japan. Empowering Anirvana Japanese Language & Cultural Center as a next step was then brought to action in India. Empowering Anirvana Japanese Language & Cultural Center was established with the vision of building a “Cultural Ambassador Vocational Institute (CAVI)”, where the focus is on the “Japanese Language, daily-life manners, and Culture”.

The program will empower the youth of India to support and enable them with the employment opportunities not only in India but also in Japan. Due to the fast-growing ageing population in Japan and decreasing birth rate; Japan has growing demand for young and skilled workforce from overseas. However, the key to success is through learning Japanese language, etiquettes & manners, and their culture. The Japanese companies having overseas offices & manufacturing plants, either in India or elsewhere in the world would also prioritize people with Japanese language & cultural understanding, while hiring. Therefore, this is high time for us to proceed further with a mutually beneficial bi-lateral long-term relationship.

Prof Ravindra Kumar Sinha, Vice Chancellor, is of the view that the Japanese companies generally prefer people with Japanese Language and cultural understanding. Hence, this is high time for us to proceed further with a mutually beneficial bi-lateral long-term relationship. I am quite hopeful that this will prove to be the landmark tie-up signed for providing added advantage to our students to get jobs in Japanese MNCs.

Dr Arvind Kumar Singh, Director, International Affairs who has coordinated this agreement in close association of Dr Om Prakash is of firm believe that this MoU is going to be an important land mark for University and also for Empowering Anirvana as both organizations has mutually decided to facilitate students of our University for learning Japanese Language & Culture.
Learning Japanese Language & Culture that would create employment opportunities arising in Japan for them in various sectors & the employment opportunities in India as well.
