The SSKDC (Shahjehan Syed Karim Declamation Competition) honors the Late Founding President of IoBM, and stands as a crucial cornerstone in our educational landscape, emphasizing the significance of oratory skills in shaping informed, empowered individuals. Beyond the pursuit of victory, this platform provides students with a unique opportunity to hone their ability to express ideas, advocate for change, and connect with diverse audiences. In a world increasingly reliant on effective communication, fostering these skills is not just an academic endeavor but a preparation for real-world challenges.
