Ankur Samman celebrates personal achievement as collective joy
On 26th August 2014, CESC organised Ankur Sam-man, a special event to felicitate employees’ chil-dren who have performed well in their Class X & Class XII board examinations. The first such initia-tive at CESC, the event was held at Science City and was attended by over 1,000 people. The evening started off with a song performed by CESC employees and officers. This was followed by an address by Aniruddha Basu, Managing Direc-tor. He pointed out that Ankur Samman was an initiative that aimed at making personal achieve-ment a source of collective joy for the company. Mani Sankar Mukherjee, celebrated Bengali author and Chief Advisor—Corporate Relations, talked about his long association with CESC in a nostalgic speech. He also reminded the students that good
academic performance does not always translate to attaining excellence in life. Of the 248 students who were felicitated, 138 had passed their Class X board examinations with over 80% marks. The remaining 110 passed their Class XII board examination with over 75% marks. The students were given certificates and prizes by members of the top management. Student Reactions “It was a privilege for me to be a part of Ankur Samman 2014. CESC deserves every praise for or-ganizing such a spectacular event.” —Somkalpa, daughter of Sudipta Kumar Laha, Station Manager, Southern Generating Station “Attending such a prestigious endeavor is a matter of pride for me. The orations by the respected speakers, especially the words of Mr Mani Sankar Mukherjee, inspired me a lot.” —Ananya, daughter of Sanjoy Roy, Asst Engineer, HRD “I feel very happy and honoured to have achieved this samman. I am thankful to the authorities of CESC for organizing this felicitation programme. This gesture has touched me deeply.” —Suravi, daughter of Ashis Kumar Das, Sr Gener-ation Operator, Budge Budge Generating Station

Armani Jeans and Paul Smith formally launched at Quest
Armani Jeans celebrated its arrival in Kolkata with
an elegant cocktail evening hosted by Ritu
Agarwal, a well-known image consultant, and her
husband Prakash Agarwal, who owns Hindusthan
Udyog. The city’s elite came together for the
launch, which took place on 22nd August 2014 at
Quest.
The boutique, which measures 643 sq. ft in area, is
in line with Armani Jeans’ new store concept, with
an affordable bridge-line collection. The collection
has a younger, trendier feel, with bigger logos and
more diverse colours than what one would expect
from a casualwear brand in the Armani portfolio.
The brand stocks the signature denims and other
daywear like t-shirts, shirts, shoes, bags and belts.
This season, Armani Jeans has introduced Italian
savoir faire into the world of jeans, with a collec-
tion that consists of Italian-made garments, iden-
tified by distinguished features like a leather ea-
gle—a hallmark of Armani Jeans—the Italian flag
and side tags. The colours are basic and the wash-
es are natural.
Paul Smith also marked its formal entry to the City
of Joy and to Quest with a grand party in front of
the store. The host of the event was Saharsh Pa-
rekh, son of Utsav Parekh. There was a special live
tabla setup with electronic music and a singer.
Among the high-profile guests was Deepika
Gehani, Creative Director of Genesis Luxury, the
company that has the marketing and distribution
franchisee of many international fashion brands,
including Paul Smith, Armani, Jimmy Choo, Furla
and Michael Kors. Other notable guests included
Mr and Mrs Scott Furssedonn-Wood, British Dep-
uty High Commissioner (Eastern India).
The Paul Smith store at Quest features the whole
range of men's collections from Paul Smith, includ-
ing PS by Paul Smith, Paul Smith London, Paul
Smith Jeans, Shoes and Accessories.
The designer's love for architecture and design is
reflected in this shop as well. The exterior of the
store is very distinctive. Another exciting feature of
the shop is the art wall, that is made up of photo-
graphs taken by Paul Smith himself.

Family-based livelihood is best promoted by mak-ing use of available resources. In villages adjacent to Haldia Energy Ltd (HEL) project in Haldia, sev-eral ponds were lying unutilised. In some cases, lack of skills led to low yield and incomes. As part of its CSR initiatives, HEL has started the “Integrated Aquaculture Intervention for Sustaina-ble Livelihood Promotion” project to improve both knowledge and skills in aquaculture. On 21st Au-gust 2014, HEL, in collaboration with Department of Fishery, Purba Medinipur, Samikshan and Joynagar Gram Panchayat, organised a one-day orientation for 52 fish farmers. The programme was inaugurated by Parbati Patra, Joynagar Gram Panchayat Pradhan. Suman Sahoo and Narendra
Nath Jana, both fishery extension officers, spoke on the technicalities and advantages of organised fish farming. The follow-up actions are:
All fish farmers to be organised under a coop-erative
Members to be trained on improved aquacul-ture by CADC, Tamluk
Pond water testing to check pH factor
Every member to start a compost pit to pro-duce organic fish feed
Monthly fish health check up will be done by FEOs of Sutahata/Tamluk
Cooperative to centrally procure fish feed to reduce transportation and allied costs
Information kiosk with support from Tamluk to be started
Duck rearing to be encouraged in the ponds to improve the water environment
Four volunteers to be selected and trained by District Fishery Department.
