Introduction:
The 100th International Women’s Day that dawned on 08 March 2010 saw much activity, excitement and fun at Azimuth. The efforts taken by the Azi Events Management Team to ensure a memorable centenary of the International Women’s Day paid off in style with all the members especially the ladies of the Azi Family taking back home wonderful memories of the day.
The day was packed with interesting events. The idea behind the Azimuth International Women’s Day Celebration was to show our appreciation to women & actively demonstrate our commitment to uphold the rights and privileges of womanhood. It is but natural that Azimuth that has 65% of its workforce as ladies, should do so.
The events planned for the day were:
- Azimuth Intercollegiate English Essay Competition for Women
- Cultural Program
Azimuth Intercollegiate English Essay Competition for Women:
In an initiative to promote English amongst the local student community an Intercollegiate English Essay Competition for Women from arts & science colleges in Pondicherry was held as a special event to mark the International Women’s Day.

The third prize went to Ms. Harini of Mother Theresa. All the participants were awarded participation certificates.

Mrs. Chitra Gopinath – Operations Manager presented the vote of thanks.
AZIMUTH CULTURAL PROGRAM:
The Azimuth cultural program held for the first time in the air-conditioned presentation hall of the Company kept the electrified air from superheating. The hall was packed with staff and trainees of the Azimuth and late comers had to cool their heels standing.
The festive cultural program kicked off in the afternoon with classic Bharatanatyam vying with heart pulsing hip hop & Chennai petta rap to win the hearts of the foot-tapping groovy audience.
Melodious songsters, sagacious speakers & rib-tickling comedians, kept one & all rooted to the edge of their seats exercising their vocal chords, hands & tear glands in joy.
The fun-filled evening came to an end with the awards ceremony where the proud winners & runners up of the Azi Shuttle Badminton Tournament Singles, Doubles, & Mixed Doubles events were given prizes for winning their respective events.
Mrs. Chitra Gopinath, Operations Manager had the last say in expressing her happiness and thankfulness to the event organizers on the successful celebration of the centenary of the International Women’s Day.
