Communiqué started in the year 2006, as the brainchild of Anindya Dutta with the novel aim of providing the students of IIT Kharagpur a strong platform to improve their soft skills and personality arose from the disappointment of recruiting companies with the communication skills of the brilliant students. Recognizing the importance of communication and soft skills in personal and professional life and keeping in mind the diverse background of the students, Communiqué strives towards achieving its goal to inspire, blossom confidence, and equip each KGPian with career building soft skills.
Communiqué aims to provide customized attention to all students by serving as an interface between professional communication experts and individual students and working with the students to ensure that there is a perceptible change in the level of communication skills in IIT Kharagpur.
