GUWAHATI: In order to motivate youths of the northeastern states of India to go to Japan and work there, Japan has asked them to unleash their potential with Yaramaika’s spirit.

In Japanese dialect popular in Hamamatsu, Yaramaika means “Give it a try or Let’s do it”

“I believe this spirit (Yaramaika) is the second key to unlocking the potentials of the North East,” said Satoshi SUZUKI, Ambassador, the Embassy of Japan in India.

He was addressing the Japan-North Eastern Dialogue “Development of North Eastern Indian Region: Indo-Japan Collaboration for Connectivity, Commerce, Culture, and Conservation” recently.

“My hometown, Hamamatsu City…. has produced a host of entrepreneurs who drove the postwar economic miracle of Japan. Those who started such big companies as HONDA, SUZUKI Motor Corporation, and YAMAHA are all from Hamamatsu City. My hometown bred these energetic entrepreneurs, buoyed with a “give-it-a-try” spirit. I feel a similar vibe existing in the North East,” Ambassador added.

His address laid focus on How can Japan add value to bamboo which is abundant in the North East?  How can Japan further elevate talented human resources in the region?  What should be done in the region when healthcare and sanitation have become so important after COVID-19?
