To promote the awareness about being healthy among the members, the computer dealers association of Nellore, has attempted a different method of uniting the members every morning and conduct activities.

Speaking to The DQ Week, Deepak Naidu, vice president of the association said, “This is a part of the CDAN Health Activity and is a first-of-its-kind activity in 2013. According to this activity every morning all our members meet at a stadium here in Nellore. For the first half an hour, we make our members walk or jog or run for 3 kms followed by one hour play of badminton or volley ball.” He also said that now it is difficult to make people appreciate the attributes of team work through long screen presentations within the four walls of a training room. “The real personalities, attitude and behaviour become much more conspicuous when people interact in a causal setting. To make it  compulsory, all meetings of our associations are planned to be conducted only in the stadium. We also advise members stay away from mobile phones during the meetings”  he further added.

“Too often our health takes a backseat between our families, careers and daily obligations. To live a viable life, to love and take care of our families, and manage our daily responsibilities, our health must occupy a center stage in our list of priorities. So, this year, 2013, we have given health a top priority and started this activity. ” He also said that to build friendly relationship among members the association wanted to start cricket, a sport with health benefits including building endurance and stamina, balance, improved hand-eye co-ordination and team skills.
