About Accepting Visitors at the Project Sites in India
ASHA = Asian Sustainable Holistic Approach, a specified nonprofit organization, hopes that many Japanese people learn and acknowledge the conditions of agricultural villages in India. ASHA, thus, has been collaborating with Makino School of Continuing and Non-Formal Education, Sam Higgingbottom Institute of Agriculture, Technology & Sciences, to accept and support short term visitors to the department.
