Speech that was delivered in a combi of 3 languages-English-Hindi and Telugu

My Speech at valedictory Session of Secretarial Modular Training Programme (SMTP)

Good evening Chairman Sir, Dignitaries on the dias and off the dias, and my co-participants at the training programme.

At the outset, let me congratulate all my co-participants who have been through this long journey of CS …the stages right from Foundation, Inter, Final, Training programmes, on-job training, etc.

Let me be frank enough Chairman sir, when I was supposed to undergo this 15-day training programme, I was under the impression that it would be a traditional class room teaching that would require me to sit in a closed room from 9.30-5.30 but when I attended the classes, I realized that SMTP was a combination of eminent faculties from the industry both in practise and employment. This made me realize that the 15-days could be as short as the word SMTP (the abbreviation of the training programme).

Not to mention all the 35 and odd classes, we had in these 15 days where faculties of various fields addressed us, I would like to mention a few……Ms Deendayal taught us how to be dayalu towards co-professionals, Raghu Babu Sir told us how to be laghu (short) in speech but big in deeds …….Shyamala Madam said..with the advent of MCA21 project, the CS profession is Sasya Shyamalam (ever green) ………….Ravi Shankar Sir demonstrated how can we be Ravi (leader) in the profession………Balachandra Sir impressed by telling that one is never bala(child) in professional courses ……..Vishwanadham Sir took us through the realities of Vishwam through his talk on motivation & leadership and last but not the least, Pavan Sir taught us not to be on pavan (air) while attending the Interviews. The list goes on with many more morales in the name and advise of each faculty.

Apart from the bookish knowledge what we had acquired in the past 3-4 years, the 15-day SMTP enables us to acquire practical exposure in the big competitive world.

Personally, I have made 29 good friends whom I can always look at during my crisis and am confident that each of the other 29 co-participants here are feeling the same. I would not be exaggerating if I tell that Prabhakar Garu “thana pratibha toh, mammalni prabhavitham chesthey” Prashanthi Garu “ anni samayalallo prashanthanga vundaalani Sandeshanni ichaaru”

And I would like to thank the organizers, caterers, co-participants, faculty and all the brains behind making this programme successful. Friends, separation is a thing that makes our heart pain but friendship is a thing that makes us meet again. Finally, we always have a smiling Seshu Sir in the Administrative wing who seems to be telling…..there is still something Sesham (remaining) …..What is that???? Obtaining Associate membership of the ICSI.

Well friends, I can’t say nothing more than this, because everything is hidden in that itself. Thank You and wish you good luck for all the future endeavors.
