World Cancer Day 2013

       The work in the hotel industry is very strenuous and employees tend to spend 10-15 hours at work. 80% of the staff adopts the habit of smoking at a very young age. We performed an Anti Smoking campaign in Grand Sarover Premiere at Goregaon. This program was attended by the Hotel staff, friends. This program was very much appreciated by Mr. Ajoy Balkrishna (General Manager). In this session the audience was shown films on Mouth Cancer and the Psychology of Humans regarding Smoking. A Lecture by Dr. Azra was given on Cancer and the answers to questions was given by Dr. Azra, Mr. Kumar Abhinav and Mr. Nicci Joseph. This event was arranged with the help of Ms. Audrey Pereira (Training Manager).
