Where Voices Rise and Leaders Emerge: Public Speaking Program at Iteach School, Nerul

Where Voices Rise and Leaders Emerge: Public Speaking Program at Iteach School, Nerul

A quiet classroom. Twenty thoughtful faces. A moment of hesitation - followed by the spark of a rising voice. This is the beginning of a transformation.

At iTeach NMMC’92 English Medium School, Nerul, Sampoorna Shiksha has launched a powerful new journey: the 15-Session Public Speaking & Oratory Program, starting 5th December 2025, conducted every Friday from 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM. Designed for 20 students from Grades 9 and 10, the program promises not just skill-building, but confidence, courage, and character.

Guided by our dynamic facilitator, Ms Swikriti Pati, each session is crafted to help learners break barriers, find their voice, and speak with conviction.

The Journey Ahead: Fifteen Fridays of Transformation

The 15-session journey is a carefully crafted arc of growth. Students will progress from building foundational speaking skills to mastering higher-order communication techniques. They will explore storytelling, persuasive speaking, rhetorical devices, debate strategies, academic speaking, and impromptu speech-building.

In the final stages, they will craft a powerful speech - an opportunity to showcase who they have become.

  • A speaker who stands tall.
  • A thinker who speaks clearly.
  • A young leader ready to inspire.

This journey will not only make them confident on stage, but also confident in life.

Why This Program Matters: Voices That Shape Futures

Communication is no longer an optional skill - it is a life skill, a leadership skill, a future skill.
 This program empowers students to:

  • Break free from stage fear
  • Speak with clarity, expression, and structure
  • Command presence through body language
  • Deliver ideas with confidence and respect
  • Think critically and respond thoughtfully

Each session reinforces one core truth: when students learn to use their voice, they learn to shape their future.

A Classroom Alive With Expression, Energy & Growth

Once a week, the classroom transforms into a vibrant speaking arena filled with energy, laughter, and bold attempts. Students dive into:

  • Voice drills that strengthen tone, pace, and expression
  • Storytelling journeys that spark imagination
  • Impromptu challenges that sharpen thinking
  • Debates & opinion circles that enhance reasoning
  • Short speeches that build confidence step-by-step
  • Peer feedback exercises that encourage growth
  • Confidence exercises that help them stand tall

Every session pushes them one step further - from hesitation to expression, from expression to confidence, and from confidence to leadership.

The Heart of the Program: Our Facilitator

Behind every confident student is a patient guide. Ms. Swikriti Pati brings warmth, enthusiasm, and a deeply supportive approach to every session. She ensures that every child feels:

  • Heard without judgment
  • Encouraged to try
  • Safe to make mistakes
  • Confident to rise again

Her presence turns each session into a space of trust - where students are not afraid to speak, stumble, or shine.

Looking Forward: Voices That Will Lead Tomorrow

As the program unfolds week by week, we expect to see students evolve into:

  • Confident public speakers
  • Clear communicators
  • Thoughtful thinkers
  • Respectful listeners
  • Young leaders with powerful voices

At Sampoorna Shiksha, we believe that leadership begins with the courage to speak—and when children discover that courage, they don't just grow, they influence, they inspire, and they illuminate the world around them.

The Public Speaking & Oratory Program is more than a set of sessions - it is the beginning of a lifelong journey of expression, confidence, and impact.

Teachers and community coordinators observed higher student engagement, better classroom participation, and increased motivation among learners. Children looked forward to sessions conducted by the interns, who used interactive methods and relatable examples to make learning enjoyable and meaningful.

The Daan Utsav distribution of soft toys and stationery brought smiles, excitement, and a sense of inclusion among children, many of whom rarely receive such resources. For families and community members, the initiative reinforced the feeling that their children and communities are valued and supported.

From the beneficiaries’ perspective, this internship was not just about teaching, it was about being heard, supported, and inspired. The interns became role models, showing students that education can open doors and that caring professionals exist beyond their immediate surroundings.

From shy beginnings to shining leadership, we, Sampoorna Shiksha, have started this Student Leadership Program at iTeach NMMC’92 English Medium Primary and Secondary School to help Student Council members step into their roles with confidence and clarity. Each session encourages them to explore their strengths, express their ideas, and understand the power of leading with empathy, proving that young minds, when guided well, grow into powerful changemakers.

Every Tuesday afternoon, the classrooms of iTeach School, Nerul, come alive with purpose, enthusiasm, and the spirit of leadership. Twenty handpicked Student Council leaders from Grades 5 to 10 gather from 3:30 PM to 4:30 PM to embark on a transformational 12-session journey led by two dedicated facilitators: Ms Bhavana Shrivastava and Ms Ruchika Thakkar.

These students are not just participants; they are the chosen voices of their peers, the ones entrusted with responsibility, representation, and initiative. Through the Student Leadership Program, Sampoorna Shiksha is helping them step into their roles with clarity, confidence, and a deeper understanding of what it truly means to lead.

Every week, the Student Council experiences learning that is energetic, reflective, and deeply meaningful. Through:

  • Leadership games that spark teamwork
  • Reflection circles that build self-awareness
  • Collaborative tasks that strengthen unity
  • Initiative-driven activities that push them to take charge.

  • Seen and valued
  • Heard without judgment

  • Encouraged to lead fearlessly

Their approach ensures that leadership is not just taught-it is felt, practised, and lived.

The Journey Ahead

Unlocking Potential in the Himalayas: Sampoorna Shiksha Brought Experiential Learning to 120 Students in Rishikesh

Unlocking Potential in the Himalayas: Sampoorna Shiksha Brought Experiential Learning to 120 Students in Rishikesh

Rishikesh, Uttarakhand – From May 30 to June 5, 2025, the banks of the Ganga resonated not only with spiritual chants but with the vibrant sounds of discovery, creativity, and joy, as Sampoorna Shiksha successfully conducted its Panchatatva Summer Camp for over 150 students in Rishikesh.

This unique, week-long initiative took place at Shri Harichand Gupta Adarsh Kanya Inter College and brought together 121 students from eight schools ranging from grades 6 to 12, many of whom were first-generation learners from underserved communities.

The camp was inaugurated with the lighting of the lamp by Mr. Venkataraman (Pencilman of UAE), Mrs. Poonam Sharma (Principal), and the founders of Sampoorna Shiksha (SS) - Mrs. Pushpa Subramanian and Mrs. Lata Srinivasan. The managing committee - Mr. A.N Dubey and Mr. Ramashray Singh welcomed the SS team. Many local dignitaries like Dr. Ramgopal Gangwar, Jayaram Kushwaha, Veerendradutt Kudiyal, Ramkrishna Pokhriyal, Smt. Anu Rakhi, Chandrakala Negi, Shashi Joshi, Meenakshi Dubey, Maneesha Mishra, Aarti Gangwar,Alok Gautam and others were present to grace the occasion.

The camp offered a dynamic mix of career guidance, financial literacy, life skills, street theatre, cultural dance, storytelling, and more—delivered through an experiential, hands-on learning approach.

“These students are hungry for knowledge, but often don’t get access to opportunities that build real-world skills,” shared Sampoorna Shiksha’s co-founders Pushpa Subramanian and Lata Srinivasan. “Our mission has always been to bring relevant, interactive, and holistic education to the grassroots by making learning joyful and rooted in everyday life.”

The heart of the camp revolved around Sampoorna Shiksha’s pedagogical model, Panchtatva (The Five Elements). Each day was inspired by one of the elements—Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and Space—transforming abstract life concepts into tangible, nature-connected experiences.

From role-playing as budget ministers to crafting recycled art, from fireless cooking to performing Nukkad Nataks on pressing social issues, students fully engaged their hands, minds, and hearts in the learning process.

The camp was made possible through the generous local support of Mr. Ramashray Singh, Mr. Alakh Narayan Dubey, and Smt. Poonam Sharma, who played key roles in organizing and coordinating the event.

The program was led by Team Sampoorna Shiksha and powered by a passionate collective of volunteers from across India—including educators, facilitators, and changemakers—united in their mission to create joyful, inclusive, and meaningful learning spaces.
