Everyone in the EF batch has been anticipating this day for quite a long time... Whenever we planned for an IV, some obstacle was on our way... The reasons for the postponement of the so called " one day IV", ranged from unavailability of permission letter to unavailability of bus.... Finally the wait is over today... All of us really had a memorable trip ... Though it lacked the characteristic "o podu" and "la le la la"s , everyone enjoyed it in their own style.. I was happy to be a part of the first bench gang, cracking blunt jokes and irritating almost everyone as usual.... This time, we reserved the last benches for us....
It was a first time experience for me to visit an industry, and when I came to know that it was dell, there can hardly be any reasons for not to be happy...As soon as we got into the plant, we were given some id proof, and were taken to the canteen.. From there we were taken to a hall, in which some senior manager addressed us.. The way he interacted with us made some of us to refer it as "The wonderful part of the trip"..... He thoroughly explained how dell is taking its brand to the people... I realized that some really good thinking was behind dell's success.... Then , as usual , we were taken to the plant... I wondered at the speed with which they were assembling the parts , and was shocked to see the entire system being assembled in a time of less than ten minutes.... Almost everything was automatic, but for the very few manual interventions at some stages...I remembered our physics mam refering to the quote by sujatha " technology is more powerful than swamiji"
All these things apart , one thing really impressed me... Almost everyone in the plant were Tamilians...... Really the special economic zones like this are generating employment for both skilled and unskilled people.... It is good that the Tamil Nadu government is making the right moves in policy making by attracting foreign investments.... At least 2000 Tamil families are benefiting from DELL...
This may sound simple and pretty ordinary.. But, please remember,Dell is just one of the many such plants in the sipcot... !!!
