Structure of an Ideal Story Narration in SSB

Total Time: Usually 1 minute to 1.5 minutes

Best Way to Start (Leadership-Oriented Opening)

Begin with a clear introduction that highlights:

  • The main character (usually modeled after yourself)

  • His/her positive traits (leader, responsible, problem-solver)

  • The situation/problem faced

Example of a Leadership-Based Opening:

“The story revolves around Rahul, a 24-year-old civil engineering graduate who is confident, proactive, and known for his leadership abilities. During his internship in a rural village, he noticed that the villagers were facing a severe water crisis…”

Full Narration Template (With Leadership Tone)

Here’s a full example to guide your flow:

1. Introduction (Hero + Traits + Setting)

“The story is about Aryan, a 23-year-old enthusiastic and solution-oriented engineering student, known for his leadership and analytical skills. One day, while visiting a flood-affected area during his college volunteering trip, he observed that people were struggling with food and shelter.”

2. Problem Identification

“He quickly analyzed the situation and realized that relief was not reaching the interior villages due to damaged roads and lack of coordination.”

3. Action Taken (Leadership in Focus)

“Aryan took initiative and gathered a group of local youth. He divided them into teams for supply distribution, coordinated with NGOs for food, and even created a makeshift bridge with available materials for access. He also set up a communication link using mobile hotspots.”

4. Positive Outcome / Resolution

“Due to his leadership and planning, the aid reached the needy in time, and the administration acknowledged their effort, using his model for other areas too.”

5. Ending (Moral or Trait Summary)

“Thus, Aryan’s presence of mind, leadership, and quick decision-making not only saved lives but inspired others to act selflessly in tough times.”
