TECHNOLOGY INTENSIFIES HUMAN COMMUNICATION SKILLS

The team members showed their mettle and caliber as they engaged in the rebuttal round slated as the last round. Although each speaker did amazingly well, the best according to our judges were

Nehru house as winners Vs Tagore house as runners up and
Bose house as winners Vs Gandhi house
Shayan Dhond of Bose house was adjudged the Best Speaker while Dishon Dias of Nehru house bagged the Runners up for best speaker category.

The Debate Competition forour students proved to be very influential as it helped them to boost their confidence, removed the fear of speaking in public, developed critical thinking, and how to think and communicate under pressure.
