Technopark is all set to celebrate Onam in a unique and challenging way. The “Rice Bucket Challenge” as an onam campaign totally differs from the famous Ice Bucket Challenge in its purpose and motive. The Technopark, Trivandrum has come up with this challenge for techies to enjoy their Onam in a special way by sharing their ‘Onasadya’. As its tagline says “Fill Rice- Fulfil Yourself”, through the rice bucket challenge each one at Technopark is fulfilling the need of food for some families by contributing rice for the challenge. Mr. M. Vasudevan, Senior Business Development Manager says that the challenge is carried out for a good social cause that is to share “onasadya” with 60 tribal families staying on the valley of Agasthyakoodam.
The techies have to take the challenge to deposit rice of minimum 1kg packet in the bucket which is placed at the entrance of every building. Techies can click a picture while taking the challenge and can upload it in their own profile under the hashtag #TPRiceBucketChallenge. Since it’s a social cause activity, the collected rice will be distributed to the tribal families of Agasthyakoodam on Onam. Anyone can participate in this challenge and winners are randomly selected from the photos of the participants. The Rice Bucket Challenge initiative by Technopark Trivandrum is a way to engage techies in a social cause activity to become the reason behind someone’s smile.
