Speeches are probably the most effective way to convince the masses.
Speaking is one of the most important skills. It helps us communicate and express ourselves. Speeches help in motivating and inspiring people. Speeches have played an important role throughout history in bringing about changes.
Martin Luther King gave “I have a dream speech” which inspired a nation and broke down racial barriers. Without his leadership and his inspirational speech, it may have taken another decade to bring equality to all races. Presidents Nixon’s speech united a nation and put a man on the moon. Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg address put him on the map for president. Without this speech, he may never have been the icon he is today. Hilter delivered his speeches with extreme passion and caused arguably one of the most horrific genocides of all time.
Our school(Ekya J P Nagar), hosted a declamation competition in which the students of Ekya re-delivered one of the most inspirational speeches of all times. The amount of passion with which the speeches were delivered was truly inspiring. The hard work of the participants showed in their performance. It proved to be very difficult for the judges to choose the winners.
Jahnavi Rajesh of Grade X won the first place followed by Nihal Sanjiv Pujar of Grade VIII, Dwijesh Natoor Bhaskar of Grade IX and Prasidh Pradeep of Grade X. These winners seemed to have truly earned their positions.

When we try to translate the vitality of our life energy into fluid moves, we dance.
Ekya School ITPL hosted its first inter-school dance meet FOOTLOOSE on August 24th, 2019. Zestful performances from the participants of Ekya Schools, CMRNPS and CMRNPUC made Footloose a massive hit. The vivacious dancers set the floor on fire with their energetic performances. All the dances in Footloose were unique. The opening ceremony commenced with blessings from Lord Ganesha. Niveditha Ganesh of Grade 12 performed on Ganesh Stuti. Shilpi Chopra our CCA coordinator welcomed the audience followed by an address by the Ms. Jyothi Menon, Vice Principal, Ekya School ITPL who welcomed all the participants, judges and students and wished them best for the competition. Niyathi and Ashwin who were the MC’S for the event kept the audience entertained throughout the event with their witty anecdotes. The stage was set on fire by our very talented Cultural Secretary Rushil Kolipaka, also famously known as Micheal Jackson of Ekya School ITPL. The entire event was led by the students. The performances encompassed various styles of Western and Indian classical and folk dance forms: B-boying, Freestyle, Hip Hop, Robotic, contemporary, Bharatnatyam, Odissi, Garba, Lavani, and kathak.
