Debate competitions are an excellent platform for students to showcase their critical thinking, public speaking, and analytical skills. Such competitions are not only important for a student’s academic growth but also play a significant role in their personal development. It helps to boost their confidence and provides them with an opportunity to express their opinions and ideas in a structured and organized manner. With the same philosophy, JGIS also conducted an Inter House Debate Competition on Friday 27^th October 2023.
