In order to serve better in the world community, OISCA Japan needs to strengthen its effective ties of relationship with chapters of various countries. In this connection, members of India play key roles in connecting OISCA Japan and chapters in Africa and Middle East.
The program in Japan specially focused on forestation and agriculture. It will be important that OISCA activities in India with enhanced capability in these specific fields, will make greater presence and impact to society.
