In his insightful session, he said, “Writing is one of the most complex and complicated skills. Basic writing skills can be introduced to the students. However, it is impossible to teach the art of fine writing. It is possible to master the art of fine writing, but it can be achieved only through reading. If one wants to write well, he must read
widely.”
He also stressed the importance on the command of language and said, “A good writer has a better knowledge of vocabulary. He understands the nuances of the language, and recognizes the difference between poor and quality writing. The command on a language makes writing clear and definite. “
