Twenty students from Reliance Foundation School, Surat (EM), participated in the Times of India Public Speaking Junior competition, presented by Navrachana University. The regional preliminary round featured group discussions with around 300 students divided into Junior (Classes 8-10) and Senior (Classes 11-12) categories. Each category was further subdivided into groups of 20 students for focused discussions.
From our school, Naishaa Yadav (Class 9) from the Junior group and Srishti Mishra and Tisha Shah (Class 11) from the Senior group secured their spots in the finale. The final round challenged students with impromptu speech topics, wherein all three delivered eloquent speeches, showcasing commendable poise and articulation.
Students were given 6 topics for their respective speeches. Among these, "AI: Good or Bad for Mankind" was chosen by Tanvi, while "Start Up Culture: A Boon or a Bane" was chosen by Satwik.
After a week of rigorous practice, they had thoroughly prepared themselves for the competition. 15 students from 13 prestigious schools all over Surat, all of whom were extremely competent and deserving, grabbed the opportunity to showcase their oratory skill-set in front of an acclaimed audience.
