Federal Bank, with its innovative and ground-breaking CSR initiatives, has become a catalyst for positive change in the country. Speak For India empowers the youth to express their views and ideas effectively and make worthwhile contributions to society.

About Speak For India

The Federal Bank Hormis Memorial Foundation has collaborated with The Times of India Group, in 2014 to launch 'Speak For India’- a debate contest for college-going youth. The debate is not just another contest; it is an event that brings intellectual minds and talent from different states on a platform where they can voice the change they wish to see in the country.

Impact of Speak For India on the Youth

Federal Bank has recognised that the younger generation of the country has the potential to shape and change the narrative of the nation positively. Through its platform, Speak For India, Federal Bank aims to harness the intellect, creativity, and positive energy of brilliant young minds.

Speak For India impacts the youth in various ways:

1. It enhances their public speaking skills. This platform is a great start for young individuals to overcome their fear of public speaking, and hone their communication skills and style.

2. Furthermore, it fosters an important skill among the youth, i.e., critical thinking. Debates encourage and expose the participant to a multitude of topics, from global affairs to topics that call for constructive solutions. This exposure helps in developing analytical thinking, and critical evaluation of information and data, and helps them understand complex issues. These are crucial skills that help the youth navigate through real-world complexities with ease.

3. Leadership development is essential to create a generation of potential leaders, and the Speak For India initiative is the platform to identify young minds capable of helping the nation achieve greater heights!

Conclusion

The Speak For India initiative by Federal Bank has a far-reaching impact on the youth - from enhancing their communication and public speaking skills to developing critical thinking and leadership qualities. Federal Bank, through this program, aims to shape the future leaders of the nation and empower the youth to become more informed and responsible citizens.
