The Debate and Discussion Committee has been endeavouring to cultivate an active culture of dialogue and discourse within the University, ever since its establishment in 2008. Foremost events organized yearly by the Committee include its flagship tournament - RML Parliamentary Debate, a legal-themed niche - The Alternative Debate, and National Hindi Debate; witnessing quality participation of stud

Alongside, it organises year-long intra discussion and debating competitions, workshops and meet-ups in order to provide a platform to the college students to develop, hone and retain their understanding and skills.
