August 2019 in the AV Room. The competition was open for the students of Classes IX-XII. The
participants of all four houses well debated the topic, ‘Protection of Environment Comes in the Way of
National progress.’ The subject of the debate was indeed an apt choice for maintaining a balance between
conserving the environment and national progress is the pressing priority for our country.
The young debaters came up with well researched statistics and gave excellent examples to prove their
point. While the speakers speaking for the motion proved their mettle with valid arguments stating
conservation of environment comes in the way of national progress .The debaters presenting views against
the topic proved that progress and conservation can go hand in hand.
The confident orators impressed the judges with their impeccable oration. The judges, Mrs. Monisha
Claudius and Mrs. Rose Anthony heard the discussion with great interest and gave their valuable feedback
at the end of the contest. Vice Principal ma’am congratulated the participants for their efforts and
announced the results.
