Dr U S Awasthi, the Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of IFFCO, the largest cooperative across the globe, is a celebrated figure in the world of cooperatives and fertilisers. Much to the pleasure of the employees of IFFCO’s Kandla unit and their families, he recently made an appearance on the final day of the organisation’s highly awaited, 10th Inter Unit Cultural Festival (IUCF) 2019.
Every year the employees look forward to IUCF, since it offers them some respite from their otherwise busy work lives. Bringing together all employees and their families, the event also offers good opportunities for socialising.
IUCF 2019 – About the event
The event had been inaugurated and monitored by Director R P Singh, who was also the Chairman of IUCF. An eight-day event, it was held at the organisation’s Udaynagar club auditorium in Gandhidham, Gujarat. Beside the employees of the five units of IFFCO, IUCF this year was also attended by the employees working at IFFCO headquarters. The Kandla unit, the host of the event, was the first to start with their performances. 55 participants each out of all the employees of the various units were selected to compete in the finals, while in order to maintain transparency and fairness, judges had been invited from outside the organisation.
As the guest of honour on the final day of the event, Dr Awasthi felicitated the winners of the events. Regarded as a guardian by the IFFCO family, Dr Awasthi is known among the employees for his exceptional personality, leadership, and generosity. He attended the event along with his wife, Mrs Rekha Awasthi. Their presence increased the jazz of the event by manifolds, while giving all the employees a good boost.
