The Saksham Sanchar Foundation, based in Jaipur and dedicated to promoting media literacy across India, organised a summer camp at Sandipani Vidyalaya in Ratlam district, Madhya Pradesh. Named as the “Gurukulam of Journalism,” the three-day camp focused on raising awareness about journalism, writing, filmmaking, storytelling, and the use of digital media. Esteemed professionals from diverse fields engaged with students and shared the opportunities and challenges in various media fields.
On the final day, the camp was graced with the presence of Colonel Sandeep Ahlawat, whose guidance to students added immense value to the event. Colonel Ahlawat provided detailed insights on body language and communication skills, while also addressing students’ queries on serving the nation.
In the workshop’s concluding session, NCC Colonel Sandeep Ahlawat engaged students in a dynamic discussion on “Art of Conversation and Understanding body language.”
Mastering conversation and body language is your weapon for a successful future. Words are powerful, but it’s what you say, when you say it, and how you deliver that makes you exceptional. Speak clearly, with purpose, and time your words wisely, he advised students.
His message to students was ‘stay focused, don’t ramble, and listen sharply, like a soldier on duty. Discipline is key,” he added.
“Your body speaks louder than words. Stand tall, shoulders back, eyes forward—confidence emanates from posture. Slouching or fidgeting screams doubt; don’t let it undermine you. Notice others’ cues: a smile invites connection, crossed arms signal resistance. Align your gestures with your words for impact,” he added.
Every field—teaching, tech, or media—builds our nation, but communication sets you apart. Like soldiers pledging their lives, commit to your goals with discipline. Practice these skills daily, and you’ll command respect in any room. March forward with pride, said Col Ahlawat with smile as students continued listening to each line what he said signalling there was a lot takeaway from the session.
