2nd August 2023, Dehradun: The Aryan School hosted its annual Inter House Debate Competition today, wherein the students from Sama, Yajur, Rig, and Atharva houses showcased their impressive oratory skills. Divided into two categories, Middle and Senior, the competition was a display of wit and intellect.
In the Junior category, the topic for and against was ‘It is not whether you win or lose, but how you play the game.’ The young debaters passionately argued their points, emphasizing the value of sportsmanship and camaraderie in the pursuit of excellence.
For the Senior category, the topic for and against was ‘MNCs play the devil with the economy.’ The senior debaters delved into the complexities of the global economy, presenting compelling arguments that sparked thoughtful discussions among the audience.
After a rigorous evaluation process, the results were announced. In the Middle category, Ananya Garg(For) and Ekisha Awal(Against) were announced as the winners whereas, in the Senior category, Aryan Arora(For) and Gaurish Arora(Against) were announced as the winners.
The overall winner position was awarded to Rig House, whereas the second and third positions were bagged by Sama and Yajur House.
The judging panel included esteemed Nadira Ahmad. The competition was fierce, but the judges were deeply impressed by the level of preparation and articulation displayed by all the participants.
Principal B Dasgupta expressed her delight at witnessing the students’ passion for public speaking and critical thinking. She said, “The Inter House Debate Competition is an excellent platform for our students to hone their communication and analytical skills.
