A team from Sanmar Group, Chennai has won Steel Authority of India Ltd's Golden Jubilee Business & Management Quiz Bonanza (BMQB) Trophy. SAIL Chairman Mr. S.K. Roongta presented the trophy and a cash prize of Rs. 1 lakh to the Sanmar team at the finals of the mega quiz event held at Habitat Centre in New Delhi last evening. The runners-up team from Sun Microsystems won Rs. 50,000 and a trophy.
Around 100 teams from top corporate houses and management schools across the country participated in the mega quiz event organized by SAIL as part of its ongoing celebrations to mark the golden jubilee of production by its plants, with the wider aim of encouraging business and management professionals and students to enrich their knowledge base. Marathon quiz contests were organized in Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai and New Delhi during the past fortnight and the top two teams from each region battled it out in the national finals that saw gruelling rounds of intense quizzing and a nerve-racking tie-breaker. All the regional winners got attractive cash prizes and trophies and participants of the audience rounds were rewarded not only for the right answers but also for their creativity.
Mr Roongta congratulated the winners and thanked the participants for being part of SAIL's golden jubilee celebrations. He announced that SAIL BMQS will be an annual feature henceforth. SAIL Director (Personnel) Mr G. Ojha, in his address, appreciated the institutionalisation of the quizzing culture in SAIL.
Earlier in the day, teams from SAIL's own plants and units battled it out in the company's annual internal quiz competition, Saksham , for the SAIL Director (Personnel)'s Cup at the same venue. The event was won by the team from Central Marketing Organisation of SAIL which narrowly pipped the previous year's champions, Bhilai Steel Plant, to the post.
