KATHMANDU: A 14-day programme on 'Public Speaking and Emcee Training' for first-year students of Bachelor of Business Studies (BBS) organised by DAV College in Kathmandu has concluded on Wednesday.

As many as 50 students took part in the training programme conducted by former Miss Nepal, Malvika Subba, the college said.

The workshop is part of a series of professional development for students aimed at their holistic development at DAV College.

Prior to the competition, students were divided into six groups and were assigned to enact different events -- ranging from a beauty pageant to product launch -- as part of the finale.

The participants were judged on the basis of speaking, pronunciation, body-language, confidence and group evaluation on the basis of team coordination.

Media personality Prabhat Rimal and Malvika Subba co-chaired the jury.
