Our theme for eCIMP in October 2012 was ‘Cost Saving’, wherein central TQM encouraged TAFE employees to participate in eCIMP by generating 3M, suggestions, QCC and CFT on “Cost Saving”. The month saw a lot of participation from employees, and the first ten who registered their suggestion or 3M were rewarded on November 16th.
Congrats to the winners!

The HRD at TAFE R&D Department organized Blooms Day, Season 2, at Hotel Deccan Plaza, on Saturday, the 23rd of June.
Blooms day is a fun filled event where employees’ children can make friends, display their talent and participate in various games. It is an occasion which builds bonds between employees’ families and also develops within them a sense of belongingness towards TAFE.
Season 1 of Blooms Day was held last year within the office premises, so this time the organizers made sure that they picked a comfortable venue for employees and participants to break the ice, and also provided a sumptuous lunch spread.
Also this time around, they incorporated games for different age groups, ie: 0-5, 5-10, 10 and above. These included fruit eating, drawing competition, pyramid, human ladder and many more. This was followed by a prize distribution ceremony where participants were rewarded with certificates and prizes for their various competitions.
Chief HRO Muthukumar Thanu, Principal Member, R & D Protoshop R. Murali, VP R&D S. Sriraman and EVP R&D Cmde. R B Verma were among the noted few present at the event. Ramesh, a Kirigami artist, was also featured at the event, and he shared some of his skills with the children there and his artwork was also on display.
Overall, the event was enjoyed thoroughly by everyone present there, and indeed provided an opportunity for the kids to bloom and showcase their talent.
TAFE Cafe had a lot of fun being part of this day!
