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?
