SURAT: Govind Dholakia, founder and chairman of Shree Ramkrishna Exports Pvt Ltd (SRK), a major player in the diamond industry, recently organised a 14-day all-inclusive trip to Uttarakhand for nearly 1,000 staff members and their families.
SRK Gange Express, an AC special train was booked to facilitate the tour to Rishikesh from Surat. The 5th ‘SRK Family Tour’ to Rishikesh commenced on the day of Dhanteras, October 22. The company organises the trip every alternate year during Diwali season as they believe in strengthening the bond among employees by travelling together.
Each morning started with a Yogasana session followed by a Ganga samuh snan (community bath) and recitation of verses from the Shrimad Bhagavad Gita by Govind Dholakia a.k.a Govindkaka.
In addition, there were a variety of team-building activities that included adventure and cultural programmes from river rafting and sports tournaments to Patanjali Ashram tour, blood donation camp, motivation seminars, Ganga Aarti darshan and dandiya-raas. There were also two free days for the employees to sight see the town with their families.
“We plan these journeys so that our entire SRK family and their leader are aligned with the same sentiment and value system. The reason I recite the Bhagavad katha is to motivate everyone to do the same”, said Govindkaka. Everyone is encouraged to actively participate in the Bhagavad Gita session by asking questions to Govindkaka and also recite the verses if they wish to.
The employees also organised the 5th Ganga Safayi Abhiyaan (Clean Ganga Campaign) on the ghats of the holy river. “Govindkaka treats us like his own family members and travels with us. He also ensures that our families too are part of the holiday which makes the whole experience very memorable”, remarked an SRKian.
Founded by Govind Dholakia a.k.a Govindkaka, SRK Exports is one of the world’s leading diamond crafting and exporting conglomerates. Valued at more than $1.8 billion, SRK employs over 6,000 people.(ANI/PRNewswire)
