The challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic have not dampened the spirit of the Indian manufacturing companies competing for the coveted Machie Trophy for the year 2020. Although, the proceedings have been delayed due to the lockdown restrictions, manufacturing plants from across the country have shared their nominations with the same enthusiasm and energy like that last five years.
Overwhelming response
Our team is indeed overwhelmed by the response in terms of the quality as well as the quantity of the nominations received for The Machinist Super Shopfloor Awards 2020. Nominations have poured in from almost every corner of the country - from Chandigarh to Coimbatore, from Baroda to Bengaluru, from Pune to Pithampur, from Pantnagar to Palghar, from Mumbai to Mysuru, from Dewas to Dharwad, from Aurangabad to Ahmedabad, from Solapur to Sanand, and many more places making this a truly National Platform.
Great dedication of the Jury
Importantly, these nominations have been evaluated with all dedication and diligence by our fantastic Jury Team that braved all the fears of the pandemic by adhering to all the regulatory and medical norms stringently. The 2020 Jury Meet was conducted successfully and safely in Pune on August 20, 2020. Hats off to these industry leaders for giving their valuable time for this amazing cause. Like last year, our Editor, Niranjan Mudholkar too joined the Jury Team this year adding the editorial dimension to this already wonderful team.
