Activities in Japan

 

 Briefing Sessions/Seminars


NPO ASHA = Asian Sustainable Holistic Approach occasionally organizes seminars and briefing sessions for local people, and these are led by Dr. Teruo Miura (Sam Higgingbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology & Science, Makino School of Continuing and Non-Formal Education, Dean) as well as other ASHA related members.

We hope that Japanese people would understand the agricultural realities of India and would contribute to the developmental education, local education, and international relations through these briefing sessions, seminars and other activities led by ASHA.



Primary Contents of the Lectures      
  • Activities and projects of Sam Higgingbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology & Science, Makino School of Continuing and Non-Formal Education
  • Today’s real state of rural agricultures in India and countries around it
  • What does “development” mean in rural areas in developing countries?

Teruo Miura Brief History
Received B.A. from Rakuno Gakuen University, M.A. in Extension Education and Agricultural Sociology from University of the Philippines, and PhD in Sociology from Kansas State University. He has done rural development projects in Asian countries such as Bangladesh, Philippines, Myanmar, and India. He is currently a dean of MSCNFE at Sam Higgingbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology & Science.


On June 2010, ASHA hosted an event called “Let’s Gather around the Sunken Hearth and Listen to the Stories of India” at a rural guest house COZY at Iwaki City in Fukushima Prefecture. We had over 20 participants. We received explanations on the ASHA activities and projects from Dr. Teruo Miura and Mrs. Takako Miura, and made chai together with the participants who wish to learn. After the main event, those who stayed the night at COZY had a great time talking about India around the fire until late night.

Those who wish to organize such events, please kindly contact our main office.
