Drawing from his own experience, he noted, \u201cThough I was not an English medium student initially, I studied English Literature along with Journalism during my undergraduate years. However, during my professional stint in Delhi, I struggled while translating Supreme Court judgments due to my limited command over the language.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He encouraged students to read English newspapers alongside Kannada dailies to gradually enhance their language skills. \u201cEngage actively in the department\u2019s initiatives such as the <strong>School Adoption Program<\/strong> and <strong>Guest Lectures<\/strong>. These not only improve your fluency but also prepare you to thrive in today\u2019s knowledge-driven society,\u201d he added. Sharma also urged students to be mindful of social media usage: \u201cBe a part of the digital world, but don\u2019t let it dominate you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dr. Gajanana R.
