On 23rd April 2025, the School of Science & Technology at Swami Rama Himalayan University conducted an interactive session on language and communication for B.Tech second-year students. The session was led by Dr. Seema Madhok, Assistant Professor at CPACE, SRHU, who focused on enhancing students’ proficiency in effective communication, both in group discussions and presentations. Emphasizing clarity, coherence, and conciseness, the workshop introduced key techniques such as active listening, turn-taking, and maintaining logical flow during debates.
Dr. Madhok also addressed essential aspects of presentation skills, including audience analysis, use of visual aids, and body language. She guided students on structuring presentations with a clear introduction, body, and conclusion, and on engaging the audience through storytelling and data visualization. The session incorporated practical exercises such as mock group discussions on technology-related topics, presentation drills, and Q&A simulations to build confidence in handling impromptu questions.
The event stressed the importance of empathy and adaptability in communication, encouraging students to tailor their approaches according to audience needs. Such skill-enhancement activities are regularly organized by the School of Science & Technology under the leadership of Dr. Pramod Kumar, Principal, who prioritizes holistic student development.
The primary objectives of the session were to develop verbal and non-verbal communication skills, boost confidence in group interactions, teach structured presentation techniques, and provide strategies for effectively handling feedback and questions. With 52 participants, the session successfully provided hands-on experience in structured discussions and presentations, improved public speaking confidence, and taught students to use constructive feedback for continuous improvement in communication.
