Dear Students of Member Universities,

We are delighted to announce that the submission due date for the Speech Contest of SUN has extended till the end of March 2021. As you all are aware that due to the outbreak of COVID-19 SUN has canceled this year's Debate Contest of SUN (DECOS). Therefore the Speech Contest of SUN is the alternative to it. We highly encourage all of you to participate in this contest which is definitely a great opportunity to share your ideas in your native language!

Theme - 'Speaking Hopes' in the era of COVID-19

             Welcome any ideas about

            - Promising jobs

            - Innovative start-up businesses

            - Revolutionary changes in higher education in the post-COVID-19 era
