The Mombusho Scholars Association of India (MOSAI) is a legally recognised organisation. Members are hand-picked experts who have spent years in Japan's top academic institutions, government labs, and private businesses conducting groundbreaking research. Members have prominent roles in a wide range of Indian nonprofits, for-profits, and government organisations.
Within the framework of Indo-Japan Cooperation for Global Partnerships, as enunciated by the Prime Ministers of the two nations, the association's primary focus is on fostering educational, research, and academic exchanges between India and Japan.
Among the many Indo-Japanese groups with which MOSAI collaborates is the Embassy of Japan in India, The Japan Foundation, and others.
Among MOSAI's many services and operations is the promotion of intellectual and educational relations between institutions in India and Japan, as well as the encouraging of higher education in Japan and the study of the Japanese language.
For the purpose of achieving the following goals and objectives, MOSAI also conducts research and study projects, publishes periodic publications, and hosts events including lectures, seminars, conferences, and exhibitions.
• To promote mutual respect and collaboration between its members and between India and Japan.
• To advance the interests of its members and serve as a reliable means of contact between the Association's members and relevant Japanese organisations.
• To organise and carry out social, cultural, and such other activities as are incidental or helpful to the fulfilment of the aforementioned goals and objectives
MOSAI runs a Japanese Language Institute in New Delhi to teach Japanese and offer curriculum advice and textbooks to other institutions, as well as an Education Counselling Cell recognised by the Japan Students' Service Organisation (JASSO) to provide information and advice on opportunities available for higher studies in Japan.
We believe that through this website, members of MOSAI and other Indian and Japanese groups working to foster relationships between the two countries would be better able to communicate with one another.
