In the opening message, Mr. Nisheeth Mehta shared that the purpose behind such events is not to merely invite artists and enjoy various art forms but it is because any form of art brings a sense of excitement and novelty. It nourishes the mind and soul, and hence he extended a heartfelt welcome to all present. The artists were honored with a shawl and garland, each by Mrs. Pritiben Mehta, Mr. Pathik Mehta, Mr. Madhukarbhai Upadhyay, Mr. Chintan Bhai Pandya, and Mrs. Vaishali Mehta. 

National Director of Empretec India Foundation graced the occasion all the way from Kolkata. Kalaguru Lt. Dharmishbhai Shah’s wife was also present for the event, along with Queen of the Royal family – Samyukta Devi Kumari. Amongst the other dignitaries present were – Ex Home Minister Mahendrabhai Trivedi, the chairman of the Alang Development Authority Girishbhai Shah, Mr. Premchand Jha, and Mr. Rajesh Vaishnav. 

It is rather convenient and easy for us to get caught up in the daily grind and forget the art and practice that drives and nourishes our soul. But that is not the case with Dr. Jayanti Ravi and her family. No wonder the creative souls of the Ravi family manage to keep their rhythm alive in various ways. Dr. Jayanti Ravi’s family is a highly intellectual family. They have all achieved hugely in various intellectual fields as well. Dr. Jayanti Ravi herself is the final authority commissioner in the health department; she is known to be of great stature. Her daughter Ms. Krupa Ravi, while being the ace Bharatnatyam dancer she is, has also achieved a lot in the area of management studies and currently works with Google. His son Mr. Adit Ravi is an alumnus of IIT Chennai and has attained great heights in an American firm. It is not only about financial heights here or about gaining popularity and fame; we have so many of those in our country in various fields. What makes them stand apart to most others is their passion and the sincerity with which they pursue and practice their art. Furthermore, the mark of being remarkable is in the ability to remain humble despite achieving name, fame, and money. They display for us, a sustainable lifestyle and a means to nourish the mind and the soul through our rich cultural heritage and equally rich value system. We are always exposed to immediate achievements and fame and monetary growth but we are not too aware of the other pursuits in such families. Here, Dr. Ravi’s family has shown to us how they have pursued and fine-tuned into beautiful art forms and sustained their cultural and value-based heritage. Only if nurtured right from the start, this can sustain into life much later as well. Let’s hope more people in Bhavnagar and otherwise can also find their calling and nurture their values and right from a young age so to promote and live sustainable lifestyles and intellectually fulfilling ones – and can also promote that for the others – this family has demonstrated the same to us. They are the torchbearers for a society otherwise facing a crisis of culture and values. 

Wishing Everyone A Happy & A Prosperous New Year. May Everyone of you moves closer towards achieving your Long term goals by completing short term objectives this year.

of March across the world, MicroSign and Kalasangh came together to organize a Wall Painting event for the women of Bhavnagar. There were over 125 enthusiastic daughters of the town of Bhavnagar showcasing their skills and talent through Warli painting. Dr. Twinkle Nakrani graced the event at the opening ceremony along with Mrs. Mona Panchal and Mr. Bharat Pandya. They boosted the moral for all the women out there with their presence and kind words.

It is essential to recognize the opportunities for women empowerment and give them a scope to bring out their best. Through tireless efforts from Mrs. Bhagyashree Mehta, this event turned out to be a satisfying success for all. Ms. Ashok and Mr. Ajay extended great support and assistance throughout as well. This event stood as a symbol of celebrating empowerment and womanhood through the medium of Art. Year after year, the Centre for Excellence – MicroSign has been keen on making the people of Bhavnagar experience events that keeps them alive and motivated.We strongly wish to increase the significance of Art in the society through consistent exposure and interest. When given the chance, women can bring out great talent through art, through music, and myriad other skills. We thus took the effort to provide a platform where women could showcase taking the our rich and diverse art forms forward in society. We have a culture and heritage that we are proud of and it is essential that there are regular activities which allow us to stay in touch with our roots, our pride. 8^th March witnessed one such evening where people came together and painted for a good 4.5 hours at a stretch, leaving a fresh air of breath and buzz across the town!

This International Women’s Day in Bhavnagar saw our women put up a powerful show of talent and skills through the medium of Warli painting.

In the Agenda for Sustainable Development for 2030, the United Nations has shared 17 goals. These are called the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Of this, MicroSign currently fulfills 5 goals, which was appreciated by all. The United Nations shared laws and guidelines regarding the differently-abled population in 1992. This was the start of conversations around the less-talked-about population amongst us. Later, India also passed laws to the effect of employment guidelines for the lesser privileged population. However, MicroSign had laid the foundations for this healthy philosophy earlier. This is ingrained in our philosophy, actions, and practice since 1987.

As of today, more than 50% of the employees, that is the HR workforce, is differently abled at MicroSign. Our focus has always been on looking for the ability that lies hidden beneath the obvious mask of disability. So while we focus on sustainable growth and development, we want to do so with continued social responsibility. Social justice comes with a constant awareness of social concerns and actively seeking solutions that will turn into a sustainable practice. A win-win situation for all involved will help in the longer run. At MicroSign, hence, the differently abled is not seen as unsuccessful, but the best we have.

Over time, MicroSign has created a model for industries about how to engage and employ their employees in a way that will help maximize potential for all; and how to put them to the best possible use. Considering all these aspects of our work culture, as displayed through the case study, Mr. Ramzan was awarded the outstanding best paper award.
