  "account": "Actor and voice coach Vijay Vikram Singh declared Hindi a \"democratic language\" that effortlessly incorporates regional dialects, as he spoke to students at the Indian Institute of Management (IIM) Ranchi during its ongoing 'Hindi Pakhwada 2026'. The guest lecture was held as part of National Hindi Day celebrations. Singh emphasized Hindi's inclusivity, noting that the contemporary Hindi spoken today is Hindustani, enriched with various regional languages and dialects. He elaborated on the theme 'Cinema, Time Cycle and Hindi', drawing from his personal and professional experiences to highlight how Hindi contributed to his success in communication and voice-over work. Singh recounted a challenging period of his life when he faced depression and struggled to find direction. During this time, he discovered the power of his own voice, leading him to train for voice-over work. \"Finding yourself is more important than finding your destination,\" Singh advised the students. He recited Harivansh Rai Bachchan's famous poem 'Madhushala' and urged students to maintain focus on their goals. In an interactive session, Singh encouraged students to return to reading books, lamenting the reduced reading habits in the digital age, which limited exposure to new vocabulary. He argued that a strong vocabulary aids in becoming a superior speaker. Singh stressed the importance of reading authors like Oscar Wilde as part of management education, linking language to thought and its role in precise self-expression and the development of new perspectives. He believed that language and communication skills can aid individuals in becoming better versions of themselves and finding solutions during tough times. Singh advised students to use communication to assert their presence, adapt to changing circumstances, and embrace continuous change. He explained how effective language use, strong communication skills, and the right handling of voice can enhance professional performance and make a significant impact in the corporate world.

Dean (Academics) Prof Tanushree Dutta, along with faculty members, officials, and students, were present at the ceremony.",
