Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate a Zen garden and Kaizen Academy in Gujarat's Ahmedabad on Sunday at 11:30am.

A joint endeavour of the Japan Information and Study Centre at AMA and Indo-Japan Friendship Association (IJFA) in Gujarat, 'Zen-Kaizen' at AMA seeks to showcase several elements of Japanese art, culture, landscape and architecture.
It has been supported by Japan's Hyogo International Association (HIA), news agency PTI reported citing a release.
There have been continuous efforts to further strengthen bilateral ties with Japan during PM Modi's regime. In the past, Japan Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in his book 'Utsukushii Kuni E' (Towards a Beautiful Country) expressed hope that "it would be no surprise if in the next 10 years Japan-India relations surpass Japan-US and Japan-China relations."
Kaizen translates to 'change for the better' or 'continuous improvement'. Kaizen is a Japanese business philosophy that focuses on gradually improving productivity by involving all employees and by making the work environment more efficient.
