Dear all
Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Chennai Kendra launched a skill based business communication course in July 2010. This is an unique course in India, probably, the only of its kind with 120 hours of teaching and working sessions (40 days x 3 hours). This course contents were designed after an extensive research and understanding of the needs of working professionals and industry. This course was formally launched by Former Indian President Dr APJ Abdul Kalam on 10th July 2010.
The course was successfully completed in December 2010. 15 communication experts and 10 CEOs/ eminent achievers interacted with the participants. A function was organised by Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, Chennai on 2nd Jan 2011, to award certificates to the participants who completed the course. Mr M Narendra, Chairman and Managing Director of Indian Overseas Bank and Mr N Ravi, Editor of The Hindu, one of the leading Indian National dailies delivered inspiring speeches.
Bhavan is starting the second batch in February 2010.
In this edition, we publish in video an extract from the speech of Mr N Ravi, Editor, The Hindu on the importance of business communication ( 7 minutes). During his speech, he focussed on the following points:
1. Presently, though youngsters possess excellent domain knowledge, they do not have adequate business communication skills.
2. Even educational institutions do not give importance to develop communication skills of their students. They remain satisfied with the text book knowledge. On the other hand, developed nations like US provide enough importance on developing communication skills at schools and college level.
3. The youngsters should get trained in business communication skills through such courses, to fill the gap in their communication skills.
4. SMS / Emails have brought a new culture of short form communication. Though such short form of communication is done for quick communication, only long form communication is accepted in the formal communication. Youngsters should focus on the long form communication more.
Please listen to his inspiring speech in the following link:
