Presentation by Dr. V. Vandhana Devi during the Workshop
Dr. V. Vandhana Devi explained the audience about the need of presentation skills for the teaching faculty members that would be helpful in various aspects of during the course of their career.
- Faculty handling theory subjects would make their lectures more interesting by presenting the theory content as pictures and videos. The students would be difficult to imagine theory content if taught on black board and lectures don’t help them at all.
- Faculty guiding students in projects such as Final Year Projects, Student Project competition, Students Presentation competition, Seminars, Paper Presentations must mentor the students and guide them in improving their communication and presentation skills.
- Faculties undergoing research and publication activities and pursuing their Ph.D. need to improve in the aspects of confidence, do’s and don’ts of gestures, ways of interacting and answering the committee members.

Participants: I year students
Adolescence stage is a stress and storm period. During this crucial period they enter the college life and are exposed to a new environment and people. They are in search of their identity and freedom and are more curious to exercise their freedom, explore and experiment of whatever they do, see or come across.
In this stage they are easily prone to any kind of habits. Exercising discipline and being cautious is a bit challenging. They are easily vulnerable and get into the habits of smoking, alcohol consuming and using other substances which are highly addictive by nature. So, as an institution, it is our responsibility to educate our students on the substance abuse and its consequences.
An awareness program on Substance Abuse was conducted for I year students in their respective classrooms by Ms D. Revathy, Student Counsellor @ KCG College of Technology.
This program created an awareness amongst the students about the addictive nature, ill effects and the consequences of Substance Abuse.
