GANGTOK: The Inner Wheel Club of Gangtok, the women’s arm of the Rotary Club, has effected a new initiative. Convinced that personality development can, and should, begin at the infant stage, IWC organized an open elocution contest on Sunday for children of classes I & II in group A and classes III, IV & V in group B, under the purview of their Kala Niketan project at St. Thomas’ School.
Children of schools from in and around Gangtok participated. Prior to the competition, training was also provided at Kala Niketan. The objective behind this programme is to help children overcome stage fright, thus enabling them to speak infront of an audience.
