You should introduce the program by formal beginning with the mention of the chief guest and other dignitaries and the audience. Welcome all and tell about the program in short.

You can introduce it like this

“Respected chief guest, honorable guest of honor, and all the dignitaries present here, good evening and I would like to welcome you all for ………….function.”

2)Inauguration

After a brief introduction, there is always the inauguration of the program by lighting the lamp and honor of the gusts, welcome song, etc.

3)About the event

After the inauguration, the main event begins, call the speakers politely for the speech and take response from the audience in the form of applause and announce various program contents as per the schedule.

4)Closing address

The closing address should mention the summary of the program and a formal announcement of the closure of the program after a vote of thanks.

5)Vote of thanks.

The program ends with a vote of thanks and an anchor or other speaker from the organizers will give it.

This is a simple format of anchoring script for any function.
