In Ranchi, government schools are shifting their educational approach from traditional syllabus completion to a more holistic focus on personality development. As part of this transformation, middle schools will introduce training modules on public speaking and interview preparation in the upcoming academic session. This initiative follows the successful implementation of foundational programs during the 2025-26 session, which included general knowledge modules and group discussions. Badal Raj, the Ranchi district superintendent of education, announced that the new modules will feature extempore speaking, declamation, debates, and mock interviews, aimed at reducing performance anxiety and boosting students' confidence. The rationale behind this initiative is to prepare students for the competitive nature of admissions to higher education institutions and job markets, where skills like public speaking and interview techniques are crucial. The previous programs, such as ‘GK Quest,’ have reportedly benefited around 2 lakh students and have received positive feedback from teachers, indicating a marked improvement in students' confidence and communication skills.
