Inter-house Hindi Debate

Words do two major things: they provide food for the mind and create light for understanding and  awareness. Debating is a skill that can be acquired and perfected by having  the right kind of attitude, clear thought process,  perfect use of words, body language and so on. Hindi debates give a person ample opportunity to prove a point and play with words and create an atmosphere where the audience is compelled to think.

The Department of Hindi at DPS Budgam is known for organizing high-voltage debates on current topics and the topic selected for this year’s inter-house debate competition was “Is the Present Education System Preparing Students for the Real World?”

 The event witnessed enthusiastic participation from students of classes 7th, 8th, and 9th, who passionately presented their viewpoints on the topic and argued exceptionally well. When it comes to the education system, students are the best judge to decide its contribution in their lives.
