Addressing the inaugural function of the workshop, Head of Department of Journalism and Mass Communication Prof. Shishir Basu said that when students move forward for career after completing their university education, it is important that they are completely confident and face the interview without any hesitation. Communication and communication skills are very important in ensuring this confidence in students.

Under this, many such activities and programs are being organized, through which students are ready to move ahead in their life and develop their skills.

Hence, the placement cell has a special emphasis on improving their communication skills as an important aspect of personality building of the students. He said that one of the objectives of this workshop is also to prepare resource persons from amongst the students, who can go ahead and help other students in skill development.
