Delhi early in the morning !

by Kazu

The air pollution in Delhi was famous even in Japan but I was not sure if the mist-like pollution was so influential to our health or not. Early in the morning, I saw this scenery from the window of my room in Hyatt Centric Janakpuri.

Even after the sunrise, I could not see the blue sky on that day. But I felt the strong sunshine through the thick clouds. The flat plain of Dekan High Land seemed to be covered with smog.

So many people of each strata live on this highland in India. It seemed like a chaos on the ground and in the sky. It will take a while to clean up the city and the sky.

 

Reunion with my Friend in Delhi !

by Kazu

My favorite friend who has been working in Delhi for three years kindly took time to have dinner with me for the first time in these ten years. The beer bar near the hotel I stayed Hyatt Centric Janakpuri.

The taste of a variety of beer was so nice and satisfied us so much. The fried chicken and other Indian dishes struck me as the twist that played up our reunion in India. 

After our reunion, I dropped by the grocery store on the basement floor of the same building as the beer bar we had dinner on that day. I strolled around the store and found the Indian modern attire and thought for a while if I should by this type of clothes for my wife or not. 

 

My Friend in Delhi, India !

by Kazu

I explained the change of the working system in Japan and how the highly skilled workers in India would be able to seek for their successful career in Hokkaido. We have to make the most of their talent and enthusiasm. 

But at the same time, we have to understand their strong bond with their family and relatives. I heard that approximately forty percent of the graduates from universities in India tend to miss the chance to land jobs they want to seek for.

After the mission of our second day in Delhi, India, I enjoyed the reunion with my old friend who were working in Delhi. I learned that face-to-face real meeting is valued in India and it would take significant time to establish a stable relationship with Indian people.

 

Faculty of Social Science in University of Delhi !

by Kazu

Hokkaido Delegation from Hokkaido had a meeting with the students of Faculty of Social Science in University of Delhi. They spoke fluent Japanese and talked their future plan in India and Japan. 

They learned Japanese language but they wanted to seek for their careers in near their family in India if possible. I learned a variety of tips to recruit the top talents in India.  

I explained about the system of Technical Internship Trainees Program and Specified Skilled Workers in Japan. Well-educated graduates in India don't need such information but they may be able to make the most of the system to make their future rosy, I thought. 

 

University of Delhi !

 

by  Kazu

The Hokkaido Delegation was welcomed so nicely in the University of Delhi. Many students who had good command of Japanese were waiting for us under the supervision of Professor Panda. 

Each delegation member introduced themselves and explained their intention to recruit top talent university graduates to Hokkaido.

The IT Businesses Association was seeking for the skilled graduates of the university but the Faculty of Engineering needed special donated Japanese language class for their students. We werre meeting the students in Faculty of Letters.

Old Delhi, India !

by Kazu

The old Delhi had kind of circle design and the center of the circle was the old part of Delhi. In order to reach the venue of the lunch with the Hokkaido Association in Delhi, we had to take a walk from the outer circle.

After the power lunch with the members of Hokkaido Association in Delhi, we headed to the University of Delhi with long history. The design of the buildings of the university seemed to be based on the color of red bricks. 

Many automobiles were on the premises of the university but I was wondering how the owners of the automobiles parked their cars and how they would get out of the premises with their cars.

 

Leaving Jamia Millia Islamia !

by Kazu

It seemed that Jamia Millia Islamia University did not have Japanese language school in house and mainly provided Europe and North America with talented and skilled graduates. Actually, the head of the Recruitment of the university headed to the next meeting with the private company headquartered in United States.

This is the popular gate of Triumphal Arch "Arc de Tiomphe" in Delhi. After the meeting with Jamia Millia Islamia, we headed to the venue of the lunch with Hokkaido Association in Delhi.

The colonial design of the buildings in old Delhi looked so exotic and invited us to the ancient world of India. Many top talents born in Hokkaido were playing so important role in Delhi. I am so proud of them.
