Effective communication is the key to success and one can’t be successful in any field without good communication skills. Both verbal and written communication are equally important to be mastered.
This was stated by well-known motivational speaker, writer and former IAS officer Mr Vivek Atray while addressing the inaugural webinar organised by Shoolini University’s Young Communicators Club (YCC) affiliated to the Public Relations Council of India (PRCI) on Sunday. The topic of the event was ‘Communication in the era of Social Media’.Mr Atray, who is a much sought after speaker and is considered ‘guru’ in communication skills and public speaking, gave valuable tips to enthusiastic members of the Club. He said we need to make sure that despite the ever developing and changing mediums of communication “we all need to adapt and develop the necessary skills to be effective communicators”.
Sharing personal stories and anecdotes, he spoke about how communication went from offline to online and what were the consequences of the same. He specifically spoke about the importance of situational communication, where he explained how our verbal language and body language need to change when we are in different circumstances. He elaborated on constructive communication tools which include choice of words, large vocabulary, modulation, body language, attitude and most importantly confidence. The concept of smart communication was also clarified during the talk.
With the advent of modernization and the development of technology, social media has taken over this world, Mr Atray said and added that it was important to take care of social media etiquette. “The world is fast paced, and everyone is connected with everyone and hence, it is imperative to be very careful what we post and put up”, he cautioned.
Replying to questions from members of the club, Mr Atray said that “the language you speak doesn’t matter, but sticking true to that language is what matters. Once you choose a language, learn it well, use it correctly and be totally confident while speaking it”, he added.
Earlier, YCC Student Chair Purvi Bhushan welcomed Mr Atray besides Mr Vipin Pubby, Director of PRCI YCC Shoolini, Ms. Ranjna Thakur, Faculty Coordinator PRCI YCC Shoolini and others.

पंचकूला , 19 फरवरी:
विधान सभा अध्यक्ष ज्ञान चंद गुप्ता ने शुक्रवार को विधान सभा सचिवालय में हरियाणा का नाम रोशन करने वाले खिलाड़ियों को सम्मानित किया। इन सभी खिलाड़ियों ने इसी माह गोवाहाटी में आयोजित राष्ट्रीय जूनियर एथलेटिक्स चैंपियनशिप में पदक हासिल किए हैं। सम्मानित होने वाले में गगन सिंह, जेसिका, जश्न और कोच जतिंदर सिंह शामिल हैं। इन खिलाड़ियों में एक ऐसा स्वर्ण पदक विजेता भी है, जिसके पिता शहर में जूस बेचकर पर अपने परिवार का पालन-पोषण करते हैं।
गगन सिंह ने अंडर 18 आयुवर्ग में 3 किलोमीटर की दौड़ में स्वर्ण पदक हासिल किया है। जेसिका ने लड़कियों के 16 आयु वर्ग में डिस्क थ्रो में कास्य पदक प्राप्त किया तो जश्न ने लड़कों के अंडर 20 आयुवर्ग में आयोजित 400 मीटर की बाधा दौड़ प्रतियोगिता में चतुर्थ स्थान प्राप्त किया। गगन िसंह पुराना पंचकूला में रहता है तथा उसके पिता शहर में जूस की रेहड़ी लगाते हैं। आर्थिक रूप से कमजोर परिवार के इस होनहार की सफलता ने पंचकूला के साथ-साथ हरियाणा का नाम रोशन किया है। गगन सिंह इस सफलता को श्रेय कोच जितेंद्र सिंह को देते हैं। वहीं, कोच जितेंद्र सिंह का कहना है कि यह इस कामयाबी के पीछे खिलाड़ी की मेहनत और प्रदेश सरकार की आदर्श खेल नीति ही प्रमुख कारण है। उन्होंने खेलों के प्रोत्साहन के लिए विधान सभा अध्यक्ष ज्ञान चंद गुप्ता की सराहना की। उन्होंने कहा कि विधान सभा अध्यक्ष खिलाड़ियों को प्रोत्साहित करने का कोई भी अवसर हाथ से नहीं जाने देते। खेलों के प्रति उनके लगाव के कारण जिले में उचित माहौल बना है, जिससे अच्छी प्रतिभाओं को तराशा जा रहा है। डिस्क थ्रो में कास्य पदक जीतने वाली जेसिका के पिता हरियाणा पुलिस में हैड कॉन्टेबल तथा माता अध्यापिका हैं। जेसिका खेलों के साथ-साथ पढ़ाई में भी काफी होनहार है। उसने दसवीं कक्षा में 90 फीसदी अंक प्राप्त किए हैं।

The fourth day of the seven-day long Faculty Development Program (FDP) titled ‘Enhancing Visibility & Perception of the Self as a Brand’ started on an enthusiastic note.
Amulya Shukla, Branding Expert, started the day bang on by establishing, ‘no dream – no entrepreneur.’ He said that one needs to be an impactful speaker for effective branding. He elaborated by saying that teachers are usually not good public speakers. In fact, they speak in their superiority in front of their captive audience in the form of students. Public speaking lends humility and compassion in one’s journey to self branding. Shukla further added that we should play to our strengths, not to the gallery. His concluding remarks were that if people like you, they will listen to you, and if people trust you they will do business with you.
Sunit Mukherjee, Director, Public Relations, MDU, Rohtak, influenced the participants by talking about the need and importance of concepts like creating trust, human touch, intention, and vision in the path of self branding. He explained how positioning one in an apt manner makes a difference in the image that one creates about oneself. He supported this argument by sharing Amul’s branding campaign.
Dr. Mihir Ranjan Patra, Associate Professor, Deptt. of CMT, GJU, Hisar, Haryana, talked about enhancing visibility in order to position oneself correctly. He related with doing things differently and situational adaptability. He also said that to stay in vogue, we need to make sense and be relevant that will lead to acceptance by our target audience which will in turn lead to popularity.
