Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate and doubt, to offer a solution everybody can understand.
– Colin Powel
Debate is an activity that encourages teamwork and friendly competition among students by making them think analytically and voice their opinions clearly. Along with enhancing their knowledge debate also improves their confidence and self-esteem. An online debate competition for first year students of MBA was held on 22nd January, 2021.
The event was held on Google Meet because of coronavirus restrictions. It was anchored by Dr. Lucky Mishra who was also coordinator and judge of the event. There were 30 participants in the event. The students of MBA first semester were the ones who got to participate in the event.
The topic for the day was “Ancient Wisdom leads to wellbeing”. The participants were well prepared and presented many notable points. The participants were armed with various facts and statistical data which made their arguments more empathetic. The best debater was Preyas Desai while the second and third positions were bagged by Kwisha Vasani and Vatsal Parekh respectively. Even though there were restrictions because of the pandemic the event took place successfully and overall it was a beguiling experience for the speaker as well as the audience.
