Special lecture for students held in Bagalkot


Bagalkot: It is mandatory for students to master English in the competitive world, soft-skill trainer Mukund K. Naganur has said.

Delivering a special lecture on “Higher Education and Corporate World” organised by the B.V.V. Sangha’s Basaveshwar Commerce College, SyndicateBank and The Hindu Business Line at the college auditorium here on Wednesday as part of the BL Club Lecture Series, he said the corporate world demanded effective communication skills and profitability from employees. To reach their goal in life, students should invest their valuable time in expanding the horizon of their knowledge by making use of the library facility in their colleges and universities.

They should also concentrate on developing vision communication skills, computer-based communication skills, silence communication, horizontal communication, and consensus communication skills to succeed in the corporate world, he said.

On the preparations to be made to become a perfect public speaker, Mr. Nagnur said that one should know the audience he or she was addressing, purpose of the speech and analysing the speech. Students should also take teachers’ guidance and get their doubts cleared before making such attempts in the colleges, he added.

Apart from dedicating themselves to professional fields, students should be disciplined and punctual, he said. Presiding over the function, college principal R.G. Allagi told students to make use of the library and laboratory facilities in the college.

G.R. Venkatesh, Regional Manager of The Hindu, and B.S. Halalli, SyndicateBank Manager, were present. More than 200 students attended the special lecture and interactive session.
