On a Saturday morning, when most of the city slept in late, there was an enthusiastic gathering at the Marina beach. Standing apart from the regular morning walkers of the Marina, was a mob clad in white T-shirts with the slogan ‘Walk for health’. The excited crowd of Ajuba employees as well as their near and dear ones took part in this health initiative by Svasth.

World Health Day was celebrated on April 7th, and Ajuba organized various initiatives to instill the benefits of healthy life to its employees. Bringing the concept of healthy eating into action, the employees were introduced to a soups and salads bar. The lunch counters had an array of fresh vegetable and sprouts which was a big hit among the employees.

In connection with the same, Ajuba organized a walkathon for its employees on April 17th to emphasize the importance of fitness and health in this fast paced world. The walkathon began from Ezhilagam, until the light house and back, spanning a distance of 6 kms. During the brisk walk, as they breathed in the fresh morning air and felt their limbs being exercised, they came to realize that getting fit doesn’t essentially mean taking up a complicated exercise regimen. A simple activity like walking daily will go a long way in staying fit. At the end of the walk, the participants enthusiastically assured to practice walking everyday to lead a healthy life.
