8. Notice Writing

A notice is a printed or written announcement to inform, or caution or warn people. Some notices are in the form of information of public importance or a caution sounded in advance against some impending threat of natural calamities like an earthquake or volcanic eruption or cyclone. These notices are used to inform a particular section of society or people at large. Printed notices generally appear in newspapers or magazines. 

Departmental and educational notices are displayed on the notice-boards meant for the purpose in the schools, colleges or offices. Notices are very effective tools of information to reach a large number of individuals in a very short time.

Notices should be brief but clear and effective in communicating the message.

विभागीय व शैक्षणिक Notices स्कूल, कॉलेज या कार्यालयों में इस प्रयोजन हेतु लगे सूचना-पट्टों पर प्रदर्शित की जाती हैं । कम समय में अधिकाधिक व्यक्तियों तक सूचना पहुँचाने में Notices बहुत प्रभावशाली साधन हैं । Notices को संक्षिप्त किंतु स्पष्ट व प्रभावकारी रूप से संदेश पहुँचाने में सक्षम होना चाहिए।

स्कूली विद्यार्थियों से Notices लिखने की अपेक्षा मुख्यतः विद्यार्थी संघ/सांस्कृतिक क्लब/वाद-विवाद सोसाइटी व पूर्व-विद्यार्थी संगठन द्वारा आयोजित कार्यकलापों या समारोहों के विषय में सूचना प्रदर्शित करने हेतु की जाती है। Important points to bear in mind while writing notices : Notices लिखते समय ध्यान में रखने योग्य महत्त्वपूर्ण बिन्दु :

Notices सरल व औपचारिक भाषा में लिखी जाती हैं । 

2. Notices for school notice-boards are meant to inform students about important activities to be held or they are in the form of important announcements. 
विद्यालय के सूचना-पट्टों पर दी गई Notices विद्यार्थियों को होने वाले महत्त्वपूर्ण कार्याकलापों की सूचना या महत्त्वपूर्ण घोषणाओं को देने के उद्देश्य से प्रयुक्त होती हैं । 

3. These notices or announcements should be to the point and brief. At the same time they should contain all necessary information.
यह सूचनाएँ या घोषणाएँ सार्थक, संक्षिप्त होनी चाहिए। साथ ही इनमें सभी आवश्यक सूचना होनी चाहिए।
