Be it individuals or organization - the 1st birthday is always special. And the next big milestone for organizations could be its Silver Jubilee (25 years) or its Golden Jubilee (50 years). But 1st Anniversary is ALWAYS SPECIAL AND MEMORABLE.
And NCC Madurai is no exception. Preparations were in full swing - right from agenda, invitees, venue arrangements - every aspect was checked and rechecked. No stones were left unturned. In the end, everything ended well. Following is a Whatsapp feedback from a Chamber Charter Member at NCC Chennai - Mr.MuthuSubramanian, which sums up all:
"First Anniversary Celebration
Yesterday we had the privilege of being part of the first anniversary celebrations of the Madurai Chapter of NCC.
It was held at the sprawling TSM campus in their auditorium which could seat more than a 150 people. (And the hall was almost house full eventually) Our late Hon Member Manikam Ramaswamy Annan and his family have been so benevolent in giving their complete support - absolutely free right from the commencement of the Madurai Chapter. Hats off to the magnanimity of the family...
In typical NCC style the program commenced precisely on schedule even while people where trickling in on a Sunday evening.
EC member Easy Ramaswamy MCeed the event in his usual Easy Enjoyable style...
The welcome.address was delivered by the Man behind the Madurai Chapter - Chapter President Dr.V.Ramakrishnan. Chapter Secretary Chinniah Velayutham gave us a comprehensive Annual report detailing all the events and initiatives of the Madurai Chapter over the last one year.
Our Chamber President PeriAnnan congratulated the Chapter and it's office bearers and even went to the extent that everyone at NCC keenly look forward to the second Sunday of every month to see what the Madurai Chapter is going to do and commended them on a lot of new initiatives they have come up with in the last year.
This was followed by Mr.Arun Arunachalam's inspirational speech on the evolution of Aruna group. He packed his speech with so many takeaways that would be immensely invaluable to anyone who wants to conduct business and conduct it ethically and efficiently - the Aruna way....
Then it was the turn of our beloved mentor Tirupathi Annan to recount his arduous journey from being a top employee at ICICI to an entrepreneur on top of the world.....Rarely have we seen him speak about himself and it gave us a peak at the immense wisdom behind the steely demeanor....
Our very own EMC Palaniappan Annan, Chairman- IBCN 2019 then gave an introduction to IBCN 2019 for the Madurai audience and what are the exciting things coming their way....
Secretary Chinniah wound up the event on time with the Vote of Thanks......
The networking before, during and after the event was great to watch as people of all ages mingled together ....hearty handshakes, lively banter and amazing connections transpired and Madurai is clearly gearing up for the second year in style....
Sumptuous food followed in the lawn opening up the floor for further networking.
MA Annamalai, PLV Ganesh and myself Muthu Subramanian were the other members from Chennai attending the event.
On behalf of all of us , I would like to congratulate the President and office bearers of the Madurai Chapter (each of them have contributed immensely ) for a meticulously planned and well organized event. And above all it takes commendable efforts, dedication and focus to establish the Chapter and run it successfully over a year. Let the coming year bring greater traction among the members not only in the Chapter but across the Globe and help each other achieve greater heights individually and as a Chamber...
Let the magic continue..."
