Description: "For good ideas and true innovation, you need human interaction, conflict, argument, debate. --Margaret Heffernan. Life itself is a debate which offers us choices, which we weigh and come to a conclusion. In order to prepare students for such difficult situations of life, every year our school holds debate competition on some burning social issues. On 10th of August, 2018 our school hall experienced a heated debate on various topics. We started with the debate for class IX Bihar Board on the topic 'Competition is necessary in regards to the learning process'. Some said that it forces us to move ahead and recognize our hidden potentialities, while the others said that it leads to fear of losing. It continued with the debate of class IX ICSE on the topic 'Social Media makes us unsocial'. It was a great time watching the youth arguing on the topic for they are the ones who use social media most. After the break we continued with the debate for class X Bihar Board on the topic 'Television is an effective tool in building the minds of the children'. Students well argued over it talking about the kinds of programmes being telecast and its effect. Class X ICSE debated on the topic 'Indian Cinema is a reflection of our society'. The judges along with the audience were thrilled to listen to the arguments brought both, for and against the motion .It was a tough time to decide the best as the reel life and real life confronted against each other. The students minds were not only limited to their course books but they dived through different sources of information to bring forth their pearls of wisdom. It ended with the announcement of the result - best speaker for and against the motion, runners up and the best team. Though few could be announced as winners, all had won speaking their mind forcefully. Along with the reflection of the judges even the audience shared their views and experience of the debate. In the present world with so much diversification what we need is to think and express ourselves logically. Youth is the power of a country which should lead the society and country with a logical approach. By holding such Competitions like debate we are preparing building blocks of our Nation who will definitely work for God and Country. "Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate and doubt, to offer a solution everybody can understand". -- Colin Powell.
