LET US DEBATE...

The Novices had an opportunity to exhibit their debating skills on November 2, 2012. "It is possible to weed out corruption from India" and "Modern gadgets ruin the life of today's youth" were the topics for the debate. This event  certainly helped the Novices to sharpen their intellect.
