The Social Service Committee of Pillai Institute of Management Studies and Research (PIMSR) in association with SIBC celebrated World Environment Day by conducting an innovative event for the women support staff of the Pillai Campus on 11th June, 2024. The event was kickstarted with Dr. Celina Joy welcoming the participants and explaining the objective of the event. There was a screening of a short documentary on the importance of water conservation in our daily life and a short discussion on the same was conducted by the members. This was followed by poster making activity in which our members Celina Joy, Betty Sibil and Smita Dalvi inspired the women to brainstorm ideas in smaller groups and try their hands at drawing them out with material provided like colour pens, sketch pens and markers. There was a buzz of animated discussion and a flurry of stroke making as the women got engrossed in the task. The output was amazingly creative and the participants greatly enjoyed the chance to put their ideas on paper. SIBC’s Founder President Dr. Daphne Pillai was also present to motivate and compliment the staff on their posters which will be displayed on the notice boards of the campus. The best of the works were awarded cash prizes to be shared by the group members. The event concluded with tea and biscuits served to all participants. A total of 54 women support staff and 2 faculty members participated in the event of poster making on environmental awareness.
