The leaders of Japan and India agreed on the Manufacturing Skill Transfer Promotion Programme in November 2016, in order to work together toward human resource development in India's manufacturing industry. Based on the program, the JIM scheme certifies and supports human resource development institutes established by Japanese companies in India.
