As previous sessions, the session also got started in the presence of cheerful and enthusiastic Smartians. The first activity was reciting the national anthem. Secondly, Coordinator introduced himself with a brief introduction of Smart Club and the Youth Initiative along with the session Norms. Role Takers and other participants were also introduced at the same time. Mr. Manish Khatiwada, one of the Smartians was then requested to take the role of OCA for the session. Now, with the permission from OCA, the session got formally started.

Coordinator then called the PDS for the session Mr. Pranav Kafle for his speech on the topic “Privatization of Waste Management”. He stated that, “Both public and Government are primarily responsible for the waste management but are irresponsible”. He concluded the speech by saying that the private sectors must be given priority in waste management since they are doing quite good. He completed his speech within 4 minutes 44 seconds with 1 repetition of word, 2 unusual pauses, no ah’s and a sound use of grammar. He responded to the questions in a cool way. His manner during the speech was amazing but was suggested to focus more on the matter part by PDS commentator Mr. Sandip Gautam; commentator had some broken sentences, 5 repetitions of words, 1 unusual pause, 6 ah’s and spoke for 2 minutes 30 seconds.

Similarly, SDS Mr. Sanjeev Lamichhine was called for the speech on his topic “Judgment”. His speech was about the irritating self-experience about waiting the bus and getting into the crowded bus. The judgment was of the conductor who showed two contrast behaviors at the same time and what he did was contradictory within him. He spoke for 5 minutes 33 seconds with 6 repetition of words, 3 unusual pauses, and 12 ah’s. The Q&A round went satisfactory but unfortunately he had a lot of grammatical mistakes and broken sentences. He was suggested to make the content more powerful and sensible by SDS commentator Mr. Gokul Ghimire who had 3 repetition of words, no unusual pauses and 13 ah’s with no proper use of conjunction and adjective in his speech.

She explained the topic with her self-experience and concluded by saying that she didn’t like sarcasm in public speaking. Her way of eye contact, gesture, coordinating style was praised. She had 7 repetition of words, 3 unusual pauses, 20 ah’s but was grammatically sound and on time.
