A CSR initiative of Federal Bank Hormis Memorial Foundation, organised in collaboration with The Times of India , the event aims to encourage students to voice their opinions on social and contemporary issues and help them emerge as future changemakers.
“Though I have participated in several debates, this is the first time that I am speaking at an event where the topic is given just 10 mins beforehand.
Sharing his experience, C Tamilselvan from Government Arts and Science College, RK Nagar, said that the platform was a stepping stone for his aspirations to become a public speaker. My aim is to become a great speaker, and such events encourage students like me,” he said. N Divya from Meenakshi College of Occupational Therapy, Virugambakkam, said the contest was a new experience for her.
“I have participated in several public speaking events and Tamil debates. I have spoken for a political party in my free time too. This was his second attempt to ace the contest. It was challenging and fun,” she added.
