Three students from Telangana to head for Japan tour under Sakura programme
Three students from Telangana, who presented their ideas at the district and State-level science fairs, and subsequently won awards at the national-level exhibition, were selected for the Sakura Science Exchange Program 2025.
A. Shiva Reddy of TGSWREIS Damaragidda of Narayanpet, Sailu Sai Shrivalli of Sri Chaitanya School, Mancherial, and Shubhasree Sahu of Paramitha Heritage School, Karimnagar, will be among the total 54 students selected from across the country, touring Japan Monday onwards.
The tour of Japan from June 15 to 21, facilitated by the Department of Science & Technology, India, includes visits to The University of Tokyo, Omiya Kita High School – a certified Super Science High School, JAXA Tsukuba Space Center, the National Museum of Nature and Science, Mathematical Experience Plaza at Tokyo University of Science, and The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation.
The students will also participate in a special lecture by Japanese mathematician Jin Akiyama at Kenkyusha English Language Centre and interact with Nobel laureates.
For Shiva Reddy, a Class 11 student who aspires to study at IIT, he will be interested in learning about Japan's technological advancement and innovations. For Sai Shrivalli and Shubhasree Sahu, Class 11 and 12 students, whose primary interests are in aeronautics, the exchange programme will be valuable field trip.
'We hear a lot about how the Japanese work hard, their innovation and work culture. I believe I am a young innovator and an ambassador representing my country, I will learn from their culture and work methods,' Sahu said. The three students, at the Inspire-Manak National Awards, proved their ideas.
Sai Shrivalli won the award for her simple menstruation device which promotes use of reusable sanitary pads; eco-friendly multi-functional agro machine for Sahu; and for Shiva Reddy, coconut fibre pots as an alternative to plastic pots.

Labourer's daughter to represent UP in Japan science event
Lucknow: Pooja , a class 12 student and daughter of a labourer from Barabanki, is set to participate in Japan's prestigious Sakura science high school programme. She won accolades for inventing a dust free thresher, which provides clean air by blocking agricultural dust emitted from wheat farms. This programme will allow her to engage with educational innovations and collaborate with peers and experts worldwide. Pooja is the only participant from UP and will join 53 other students from across the country. Organised by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), her participation is scheduled from June 14 to June 21. District inspector of schools, Barabanki, O P Tripathi said, Pooja hails from a humble background and lives in a kuccha house with her labourer father Puttilal and mother Sushila, who works as a cook-cum-helper in a govt school. Tripathi said that Pooja developed this model when she was in class 8 under the guidance of her teacher, Rajeev Srivastava. "Her innovation received state and national recognition under INSPIRE Awards and she was selected for this programme," Tripathi said. Nodal officer for INSPIRE Award, Barabanki, Poonam Singh, said, "Pooja was inspired to develop a dust-free thresher after she saw a normal thresher near her school that caused health issues to children. A lot of kids were constantly coughing due to the dust generated during threshing." Sakura Science High School said its aim is to foster educational innovation exchanges between Japanese youth and their peers from other countries.
