A speech competition was organized at LTK College on 25 September 2026 at 10:00 AM under the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan initiated by the Government of Assam. The programme was jointly coordinated by Mrs. Bhanita Kalita, Assistant Professor, Department of Education, and Dr. Bidisha Kataki, Assistant Professor, Department of Zoology. The event was organized with the objectives of encouraging students to develop their public speaking skills, enhance their confidence, and express their ideas effectively while promoting awareness of the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan.The programme commenced with an inaugural address by Dr. Bubul kumar Saikia, the Principal of LTK College, who warmly encouraged the participating students to present their speeches with confidence, clarity, and enthusiasm. The motivational address created an encouraging atmosphere and inspired the students to perform to the best of their abilities. Following the Principal's address, Dr. Swapna Dutta, Vice Principal of LTK College, shared her views on the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan and highlighted its significance. She motivated the students to understand the objectives of the campaign and participate actively in its activities. Dr. Randeep Borah, Assistant Professor, Department of Assamese ,served as the anchor of the programme and ensured the smooth coordination of the proceedings.The speech competition was evaluated by a panel of three distinguished faculty members: Mr.Biju kr.Sonowal, Assistant Professor, Department of English ,Mrs. Jully Gohain Neog, Assistant Professor, Department of Botany and Dr. Binita Saharia, Assistant professor, Department of Assamese. The judges assessed the performances of the participants and contributed to the fair and systematic conduct of the competition. Their valuable involvement helped maintain the academic quality and spirit of the event.
At the Undergraduate level, sixteen students participated in the competition and presented their speeches with enthusiasm and confidence. Although the Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) of the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan did not specifically require the institution to award prizes, the college took an initiative to recognize and encourage student participation. Accordingly, prizes were awarded to the students securing the first, second, and third positions at the institutional level. These three successful participants will be given the opportunity to represent the institution in the upcoming district-level speech competition under the Seva Sankalp Abhiyan, thereby providing them with a valuable platform to further develop their communication skills and showcase their abilities at a broader level.
At the Higher Secondary level, two students participated in the speech competition. However, owing to the limited number of participants, they could not proceed to the LAC level. Nevertheless, acknowledging their efforts and encouraging their participation, the judges awarded consolation prizes to both students. This gesture reflected the institution's commitment to appreciating student involvement and motivating learners to participate in future competitions.
The programme concluded with a formal Vote of Thanks delivered by Mrs. Sonali Bora, Assistant Professor, Department of History. She expressed her sincere gratitude to the Principal, Vice Principal, invited judges, anchor, coordinators and participating students for their valuable support and cooperation.
