Can anyone give me the best anchoring script in Malayalam to host annual day?

Answer:
Well it all depends on you. When I first began anchoring I was told, do it this way and do it that way. Keep it this long , keep it this short. But really, if you remove the technical details (Cannot exceed x mins, due to schedule/ Must be formal, the audience is really conservative) it is up to you.
The style I have always gravitated towards is to either keep the script conversational ( How would I tell my friend all of this? (While keeping it formal/informal) ) or story like.
As such, the beginning has very much been an integral part of the script, so varied a/t the way the script was written. That is, no such “best lines to begin a script” for me.
Let me give a few examples for formal anchoring -
19 April 2012. Early morning 8:05 AM. I’d like to imagine that the birds were chirping on yet another lovely morning at Wheeler Island, just off the coast of Odisha. But then, all of a sudden, the reverie of the forests that surround the Missile launch Facility was quite ………………… the story of Agni V, that promises to be India’s first true Inter continental Ballistic Missile. But remarkably, it is just another chapter in the illustrious life of our next speaker, a person who needs no introduction, India’s missile woman - XXXX XXXX.

A very long intro, very different from what I was told is a proper intro - but it did the trick. Huge crowd, hung on to my every word for the next 1 and 1/2 minutes.
Some traditional welcoming lines are -
Ladies and Gentlemen, a very warm welcome to __th edition IIT Guwahati’s annual ___ festival ____ presents ___!
… And other variations of the same.
But in my experience, it is best to start differently to catch everyone’s attention. The longer it takes to get to your “hook” , the more difficult it becomes to get their attention and in case of unruly crowds (mostly at informal events) the harder it is to control the crowd.
However, if you have something cool and interesting immediately lined up after the intro, I think going for a simple “classic” intro like “Ladies & Gentlemen…” is classy.
Another interesting script I had written started like this -
"Jaago re"
"Daag acche hai"
"What an idea Sirji"
These taglines, Im sure, are ones very familiar to you. Today, we can safely say, they have changed what the word "commercial" means to us.
So a very Good Evening to one and all. You will be delighted to hear that the next IC speaker to take the mic is none other than the man behind these jewels in the world of advertising, Mr. XXXX.

Here the idea was to grab their attention with things that they are familiar with.
Anyway, the idea is that the entire script should decide the beginning. And if you were simply looking for lines to begin with and didn’t really want all the stuff I just spouted :P , then I’d say “Ladies & Gentlemen , a warm welcome…” or “a Good evening to ..” are the classics for formal anchoring, and for informal events - really you could go with anything - I’ve done “Whatsup Folks?” several times (only when done impromptu though :P).
