I am extremely honored and obliged to the Hyogo Overseas Research Network (HORN) for providing me the funding and opportunity to visit Konan University, Kobe, Japan. I delivered two lectures on Indian Culture Diversity in Port island Campus and Okamoto Campus of Konan University. It was an excellent discussion about the culture and science with the audiences. I have started excellent research cooperation with FIBER in Konan University. It has been an enthusiastic research and culture exchange with the faculties as well as students. The collaborative research work that we are planning with the faculties of Konan University should bring some fruitful results as international publications.

Apart from that, I got a chance to visit several places nearby Hyogo prefecture to understand the deep-rooted ancient Japanese culture. It has been a learning experience for me to gather knowledge about the Japanese culture at various places. At the end, I must say that I found cultural overlaps of Indian and Japanese cultures. I am deeply grateful to the Hyogo Overseas Research Network (HORN) for the support.
