Its raining accolades for Team Doddaballapur!
Quality teams from DBR won Gold awards at the 22nd Chapter Convention on Quality Concepts 2012 and the Six-Sigma competition held at the CII’s 6th National Conference, both held in the course of last month in Bangalore.
Above are a few pictures of the teams receieving their well-earned awards!
TAFE System Admin R&D M.Mayamurugan’s daughter, M.Monisha, was part of a team from Kaligi Ranganathan Montfort Matriculation HS School which has devised a system that could improve road safety by a considerable margin.
They have come up with a system that would set off a chain of light and sound effects to alert police incase drivers pick up their cell phones while on the road. Monisha and her friends were inspired to act on this after witnessing and hearing about many accidents that have been caused by drivers who get distracted by phone calls while on the road.
We salute Monisha and her friends for applying their minds towards a bright, safer future!

TAFECAFE wishes all its engineers a very Happy Engineers Day!
We would like to recognize the efforts of our able engineers at all our plants and various offices for their commitment to engineering excellence at TAFE.
This day marks the birthday of one of India’s most revolutionary engineers, Sir. M. Vishweshwarayya. He was involved in building numerous dams, including the KRS Dam. All his work stands strong even today.
The theme for the this year’s Engineers Day is: “Appropriate Climate-Responsive Technologies For Inclusive Growth and Sustainable Development”, which according to Institute of Engineers – India, means that engineers can play a vital role in this challenging scenario of sustaining inclusive growth without compromising with the process of sustainable development by establishing the concept of “Land to Lab and Lab to Land” in true sense.
TAFE has always prioritized its concern for the environment, and keeping in line with this, the MDU plant bagged the ‘Environmental Green Award’ from Tamil Nadu Government this Tuesday, September 11th 2012, in appreciation of their initiatives and commitment to protect the environment by adopting new technologies not only in the process section but in the treatment section as well.
The award also recognized TAFE’s efforts in taking action to reuse treated trade effluent in the process, providing rainwater harvesting, and complying with the rules and regulations made by the various environmental agencies.
The MDU Plant was one of the 12 plants to bag this award amongst more than 200 plants that were shortlisted by TNPCB, all over the state.
Cheers to TAFE for its eco-friendly ways of operation! .
At TAFE, care for the environment is one of our main priorities, and we strive to maintain sound management systems in order to reduce and eliminate effects on the enivronment.
TAFE’s Tractor Division (all plants including Turkey Operations, H.O., R&D, 14 Depots and 25 Area Offices) was recommended for re-certification for the next 3 years by M/s. TUV-NORD Pvt in a closing meeting at DBR Plant Conference Hall in Bangalore, on September 1st.
We thank each and every one who have contributed both directly and indirectly for the sustenance of Quality Management System (QMS) and Environment Management System (EMS) – ISO 9001: 2008 and ISO 14001: 2004.
Check out the link to the new theme song for the annual Sembiam event – Sembiam Sangamam!
The video and the song was the brainchild of Murali – Asst. Manager, Personnel and team.
The video and the lyrics depict different departments doing their part and coming together to achieve the common objective of the company, which is the prime objective of this video. It shows the unity in direction among all these different departments.
This project took about two months for completion, and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience as it brought employees together. They shared some light moments on and off the camera!
Cheers to Murali and his friends circle for creating this piece in the spirit of TAFE!
We, at TAFE Corporate Communications, have launched a new single window contact on TAFE Channel, called COMMit!
COMMit will serve as a one stop portal for other departments to get in touch with us and place requests.
Since the corporate communications department is the custodian of the corporate brand, our work is concerned with all internal and external stakeholders. We handle a number of assignments, and hence, COMMit gives us a very systematic approach to work.
It will improve exchange and flow of information from the Corporate Communications to other Departments, and vice versa. Also, it will increase efficiency of communication, and also save time.
Through COMMit, a system of uniform and consistent communication can be established, as the Corp Comm communications follow the Corporate Identity Program.
We would sincerely like to thank the E-Comm team: P R Kannan, K Gopalakrishnan, P Hemanand, M Dinesh, K M Nisha for putting our ideas into execution.
We kindly request all departments to place their requests and requirements to Corporate Communications via COMMit.
It’s a CorpComm COMMit-ment!
