The session, aimed at enhancing communication skills and boosting confidence, was led by Rtr. Sahana and Rtr. Prajwal, who introduced students to the fundamentals of effective public speaking. The workshop covered important aspects of public speaking, including how to structure a speech, maintain eye contact, control nervousness, and engage the audience. Through practical exercises, Rtr. Sahana and Rtr. Prajwal encouraged the students to step out of their comfort zones and practice speaking in front of their peers. The students participated in short impromptu speeches, which helped them build confidence and improve their articulation skills. The session also focused on the importance of body language, tone, and clarity while speaking, giving students the tools they need to express themselves effectively in front of an audience.
