The saying goes that a house is only as strong as its foundation and for KAGW our foundation are our volunteers. For every single President or Secretary there are dozens of volunteers working behind the scenes. These selfless, faceless warriors are the ones who have enabled KAGW to be stronger and scale higher. The KAGW Hall of Fame award was constiuted to recognize these outstanding individuals for their deep dedication and contributions.
Saji Jose

-- Saji has been a KAGW committee member consecutively for the last 8 - 9 years.
-- Across the years Saji has served in various positions within the KAGW committee especially in the critical
areas of Technology, Publicity and Entertainment, yet has never been part of the KAGW executive team or held a front-desk / customer-facing
role. He has always been diligently working behind the scenes to ensure the success of the program – in fact it would not be surprising if 70% - 80% of
our people outside the core committee don’t recognize him.
-- Saji has consistently taken responsibility to handle the critical elements of light,
sound and projection at ALL our events even when he has not been part of any of the related committees. Many
of our programs would have come to a grinding halt had it not been for him stepping in at the right time – this
includes all major events: Talent Time, Eid, Onam and Xmas.
-- He will always be the first to arrive at the venue to setup
the stage and probably the last to leave after clearing the stage. A TOTAL team player who has never complained.
-- He worked to collect, scan and digitalize all back issues of the KAGW magazines and calendars since start
of publication. This has been his pet project that he took up on his own without any compulsion to make sure that
our KAGW heritage is not lost: http://kagw.com/kagw- publications/. A thankless job that many people and even most core committee members don’t even know about.
-- He along with Jenson Jose introduced movie and image-based event backgrounds during 2011 Christmas.
-- His significant contributions as part of the Technology team include
-- Hit rate of the KAGW website leapfrogged since Saji took over website administration in 2011.
-- Designed and developed the current KAGW logo, including the ones specially designed for Onam, Christmas and other significant events.
-- Played a key role in converting the KAGW website from a static website to a .NET dynamic site where most of the content loaded from database.
-- Significant contributions to the current CMS (Content management system, earlier Drupal and now WordPress) portal.
-- Actively involved in another KAGW initiative named KAGW news videos
-- Sorting and maintaining KAGW artifacts (Photos/Videos/Publications) online.
-- He has created numerous banners, flyers and images for different KAGW events as part of the Publicity team which are still being used even today – especially the KAGW logo used for all major events
-- He has developed all the Reel Deal nomination videos / presentations for Talent Time since the Reel Deal contest’s inception.
