Orator Of The Zone
Communication is the real work of
leadership.’ Time and again , this quote has
been proved apt by all the leaders,good or
bad. History contains ample examples of
effective leadership provided through
effective communication . The need of
leadership in India has gradually turned
our attention towards effective
communication.
Communication is an art which unfolds
ones personality into a huge banyan tree.
However, for the seed to develop fully, it
must be reaped in ones personality in early
childhood. With this spirit in our minds , we introduced Orator of the Zone Contest
in the year 2006. This is a healthy competition between the students to promote
their oratory skills.
It was organized on 10 Jan 11.About one hundred fifty students
from various schools of Haldwani , Rudraur, Kichcha, and Pantnagar registered
themselves. The judging panel consisted of Mr. Kuldeep Singh, HR Manager, Tata
Motors Ltd, Dr. B Kumar, Head Director Extension Education., Dr. Shivendra
Kashyap , Associate Professor , Communication Extension.
