            it becomes easy to convey a message in short and simple sentences. This develops confidence and helps a person
            survive in the vast ocean of Information Technology (IT).


                    What is Communication?

            The word ‘communication’ is derived from the Latin word communicare, meaning “to share”. It is defined as a way of
            conveying a meaningful message from one entity to another in the form of signs, symbols, behaviour using verbal
            and non-verbal skills. It is important that whatever we want to communicate is conveyed effectively.
