Ferozepur, August 22, 2026 (Rajiv Kumar): The Lions Club Ferozepur Border organized the 4th Shadi Ram Nand Lal Memorial Speech Competition-2026. As many as 65 students from various prominent schools of the city enthusiastically participated in the competition and presented their views on contemporary topics.
Giving information about the event, Lions Club Ferozepur Border President Lion Ashish Aggarwal said that students from St. Joseph’s Convent School, Disha Public School, Shanti Vidya Mandir, Jogindra Convent School, Delhi Public School, D.C. Model School, Das & Brown World School, D.C. Model International School, Vivekanand World School and R.S.D. School participated in the competition.
Before the final results were announced, District Language Officer Dr. Jagdeep Singh Sandhu interacted with the students and shared important tips for performing better in speech competitions. He said that instead of merely memorizing a speech, students should thoroughly understand the topic. Even if they forget a portion of their speech, they should not panic; rather, they should move forward confidently and, when necessary, bring the speech towards its conclusion.
Dr. Sandhu also emphasized maintaining eye contact with the audience, avoiding unnecessary questions merely to attract attention, using appropriate gestures while speaking and ending the speech with an effective punch line. He said that the purpose of such competitions is not merely to win, but also to learn, build confidence and improve communication skills.
The jury, headed by Dr. Jagdeep Singh Sandhu, announced the results. Bhavya Sarkar of St. Joseph’s Convent School secured first place, Cherish Dhingra of Delhi Public School secured second place, and Gurjot Kaur of Jogindra Convent School secured third place.
