Dussehra was celebrated at BHEL Dussehra Ground with traditional fervour & gaiety. This year’s Ravana’s effigy stood 50 feet tall with a 5 feet umbrella on top.
During the celebration, Vinay Nigam, Executive Director (BHEL, Bhopal) was present as the Chief Guest while Navita Nigam, President (BHEL Ladies Club) was present as the Guest of Honour.
On this occasion Adikanda Behera, General Manager (HR); all general managers, Trade Union representatives and township residents in a large number were present.
Nigam, greeting the gathering on the pious occasion of Dussehra said that the festival symbolises the victory of good over evil. It is said that on this day Goddess Durga defeated the demon called Mahishasura from the earth.
Similarly, other traditions believe that Lord Rama fought and eliminated the Demon King Ravana on this very day. In both situations the outcome is victory of light over dark, truth over lies and good over evil. Therefore, we see that while people’s beliefs may differ, they celebrate the very same essence throughout the country, added Nigam.
Nigam urged the employees present to put in their best efforts in achieving the turnover target.
