The session was designed to strengthen students’ understanding of professional communication practices and their application in corporate environments.

Organised by SHSS, the interactive session brought together 60 students from across academic years for a focused discussion on key aspects of workplace communication. The expert talk was led by Mansi K Panani, Soft Skills Trainer at Bloom Learning and Well Being, who guided students through the essentials of effective corporate communication.

Emphasis was also placed on the role of tone, body language, and word choice in shaping workplace interactions.

A key highlight of the session was the discussion on handling difficult conversations with clarity and empathy. Through examples and guided interaction, students were introduced to strategies for maintaining professionalism while addressing sensitive topics, reinforcing the importance of emotional intelligence in corporate settings.

Participants also engaged in group activities designed to simulate real-world communication scenarios. These exercises encouraged collaboration, peer learning, and active participation, allowing students to apply theoretical concepts in a practical context. A dedicated Q&A session further enabled students to clarify doubts and engage directly with the speaker.

Faculty members noted that the session helped students build a stronger understanding of communication as a strategic skill, essential for both personal and professional development. Students responded positively to the interactive format, highlighting its relevance to future workplace requirements.

The session concluded with reflections on the importance of clear, ethical, and adaptive communication in modern organisations. It reinforced the need for students to develop not only technical competence but also interpersonal skills that support effective collaboration and leadership in diverse professional environments.

Bengaluru, 14th April 2026: The NSS Wing at JAIN (Deemed-to-be University) marked Ambedkar Jayanti on 14th April 2026 with a reflective and purposeful gathering on campus, bringing together faculty, dignitaries and student volunteers to honour the legacy of B. R. Ambedkar. Held in the morning, the event commemorated the birth anniversary of the principal architect of the Indian Constitution while inviting students to engage with the continuing relevance of his ideas on justice, education and social reform.

The programme opened with a welcome address that set the tone by recalling Ambedkar’s enduring belief that “cultivation of mind should be the ultimate aim of human existence”. The remark resonated across the audience, framing the event not simply as a tribute, but as a call to intellectual and social responsibility. Attendees,  including NSS volunteers, participated with a shared sense of purpose, reflecting the University’s emphasis on civic awareness alongside academic learning.

A solemn floral tribute followed, as faculty members and invited dignitaries paid their respects. Observed in silence, the ceremony underscored a collective acknowledgement of Ambedkar’s role in shaping a more equitable society. The atmosphere remained contemplative, encouraging participants to consider the depth of his contributions beyond textbook narratives.

The event then transitioned into a keynote address that traced Ambedkar’s journey from his early struggles against systemic discrimination to his lasting achievements as a reformer, economist and constitutional thinker. The speaker emphasised the transformative role of education as a tool for empowerment, urging students to view knowledge not only as a personal asset but as a means to advance social change.

By the close of the session, the event had moved beyond commemoration to reflection and dialogue. For students, it offered a moment to connect historical ideals with present-day responsibilities, reinforcing the role of education in building a more inclusive and informed society.

Bengaluru, 9th April 2026: The School of Law at JAIN (Deemed-to-be University) transformed its campus into a vibrant celebration of art, expression, and cultural identity with Sanskruti Saga, a four-day cultural week held from 6–9 April 2026. Hosted in Basavanagudi, with the grand finale at the auditorium of Indian Institute of World Culture, the event brought together students, faculty, and staff in a shared exploration of creativity beyond the classroom.

Designed to complement academic learning with cultural engagement, Sanskruti Saga unfolded as a journey rather than a single event. It began with literary and creative pursuits, as students participated in an essay writing competition that tackled themes ranging from the impact of technology to complex legal debates such as passive euthanasia in India. Alongside this, a fireless cooking competition saw participants transform simple ingredients into innovative dishes, combining sustainability with creativity.

As the week progressed, the energy across campus continued to build. The image hunt competition challenged observation and teamwork, blending artistic interpretation with quick thinking. Meanwhile, the “Best out of Waste” competition highlighted environmental responsibility, as students repurposed discarded materials into meaningful creations an exercise that echoed broader conversations around sustainability and conscious living.

The final day brought the celebrations to a grand close. The programme opened with a welcome address by student coordinator Sushma BL and an invocation song by Namrata, setting a reflective tone. A ceremonial lamp-lighting marked the formal inauguration, followed by addresses from institutional leaders. Dr. Om Prakash, Head of the Department, emphasised the role of cultural activities in nurturing confidence, creativity, and teamwork among students. Director CA Gurudath reinforced this message, encouraging students to preserve cultural heritage while embracing their artistic potential.

What followed was an evening of performances that captured the spirit of the week - solo and group singing, dance performances, and a skit that blended entertainment with meaningful storytelling. Informal games further added to the atmosphere, breaking barriers between students and faculty and reinforcing a sense of community.

The event concluded with a vote of thanks by Dr. Krithika Balaji, who acknowledged the contributions of organisers, faculty, and student volunteers. Coordinated by a dedicated team including student organisers such as Sushma BL, Manasa, Shivani S, Vishal Pishey, Sanjana, Sakshi, Prithvi G, Venu Gowda TM, Balaji M, Nouman, and Harshavardhan, the event reflected strong collaboration across cohorts.

Beyond performances and competitions, Sanskruti Saga served as a platform for holistic development enhancing communication skills, encouraging teamwork, and deepening cultural awareness. For many students, it was not just an event, but an experience that bridged tradition and modern expression, leaving behind a stronger, more connected campus community.
