MUMBAI, June 02: The Young Communicators Club (YCC) of PRCI is poised for a big leap as SIMSR (K.J.Somaiya Institute of Management Studies and Research) has agreed to set up the unit at the campus.

PRCI national president B N Kumar and Mumbai Chapter general secretary Sanjay Rammoorthy had discussions with Isaac Jacob, SIMSR Area Chairman, and Prof. Hardeep Singh, Asst. Professor – Marketing, on conducting PRCI and YCC activities at the campus.

Prof Singh has given his consent to be the YCC coordinator. He will depute a student team for planning activities of their interest.

A large gathering of students burst into loud applause as BNK announced the setting up YCC at SIMSR during the Daughters Day events yesterday.

Three cheers to YCC! SIMSR students eager to start YCC activities

PRCI will arrange for knowledge forums, practical training workshops, seminars and guest faculty from among communication professionals.

Jacob expressed the hope that the YCC activities will help students to broaden their horizon and make them industry-ready.

Prof Singh said YCC could start with communication students numbering 120 and spread its coverage to over 400 students.

SIMSR has agreed to offer its logistics support to professional activities by PRCI and YCC in the campus and even outside.

PRCI Chairman Emeritus and Chief Mentor M B Jayaram, Governing Council Chairman R T Kumar, General Secretary Ravindran Kesavan, YCC Chairperson Geetha Shankar and general secretary Avinash Gaikwad have welcomed SIMSR to PRCI/YCC fold.

SIMSR has already associated itself with PRCI’s #shakti4beti campaign by organizing competitions such as Poster making, Photography and Skit based on the theme, writes Vishnu Kanth, Convenor,Public Relations at the Institute.

The Women’s Development Cell played major role in conducting a week-long competition, ahead of the Daughters Day celebrations, that attracted good response from among the students.

SIMSR organized an event on July 1 where four shortlisted skits were presented live.

The ceremony was attended by Mr. Vishal Kedia founder & director of Complykaro and Mr. Yogesh Shanbhag ,VP of Sportz Consult, who were part of the jury that adjudged skits.

“Let us pick up our books and pencils. They are our most powerful weapon”. This statement by Nobel Prize winner Malala itself tells the value of education and how it can improve the importance and respect of a daughter in the society.

If a small initiative by PRCI and K.J.Somaiya Institute of Management Studies and Research can do so many wonders, why not come forward and begin a revolution where we educate, respect and develop our daughters to be a light in the realms of our Indian society?
