The session featured the distinguished speaker, Mr. Rajeev Markandey, a veteran in the education industry. Mr. Markandey, with over 20 years of experience, brought a wealth of knowledge to the session. He shared engaging insights into the intricacies of group discussions. The session seamlessly blended theory with practice, offering participants interactive opportunities to engage in group discussions and apply the principles elucidated. The speaker delved into the do’s and don’ts of participating in a group discussion. Dos included maintaining eye contact, nodding in agreement, and expressing thoughts with clarity. On the contrary, participants were advised against interrupting others, dominating the conversation, and being overly aggressive. Following the theoretical segment, a mock GD was conducted to offer participants hands-on experience. Participants were divided into groups and given time to brainstorm before engaging in a structured discussion. The facilitator provided constructive feedback, highlighting both the strengths and areas for improvement.
