Education is a continuing process. It cannot and should not be stopped. On-Line mode of  education due to existing epidemic Corona has been developed as a new pedagogy, may not be  as effective, as face to face mode of education, still seems the need of the time. An International problem facing the World at present has been made a subject to increase the  acumen of a student of International relations, International politics, and International law. The  rights of the people of all countries and the sprit to protect the national interests would develop in  the student fraternity. The competition also aims to provide an opportunity for these students to  exhibit their skill, increase awareness and the skills of debate and advocacy.

It adds to a greater advantage of knowing the various aspects in and around the world  with various views for and against. It enlarges our scope of thought and knowledge. The Debate  Competition is not only about competition itself, but an educational extended activity that  includes familiarization with contemporary issues which provides new and exciting way of  exploring the changing dynamics of the international developments. That develops the ability of  analyses and synthesizes data and information to form arguments and take position,  familiarizing self with exposure to audience, compete and take action in college and local  community proposing for a better world. 

Our Organization sets a motto to help the participants through the debate competition in finding  issues ranging from basic social policy to grander theory about constitutional design and  democratic theory which suggests that legal debates overlap with several other social  institutions and expectations. With a view to strengthening the roots of democracy and intricate  healthy habits of discipline, tolerance of the views of others and to enable the student  community to understand in depth the issues happening in and around the country, such  competitions provide a platform to express various perspectives on the contemporary legal  issuers, subsequently producing cross current of thoughts on developing matters. This stage  touches the activity and yearning young law students to contribute in the field of law. 

The Competition intends to build dedicated debaters who grow up to become  persuasivespeakers, analytical thinkers, and proficient researchers. Not only do debaters learn to 

write well-reasoned and persuasive arguments, but they also learn to love researching and  writing. 

Debate work becomes a satisfying competitive outlet for a student’s creativity andintellect.  Moreover, both debate and legal work involve applying relevant theory and precedent to the  specific text of a codified law or resolution, given the nature of competitive debate.
