LEAVE THE CERTIFICATES AT THE DOOR. BRING THE MIND INSTEAD.

​In the land of Navya-Nyaya and timeless logic, we’ve entered a strange era. We are collecting degrees like trophies, yet the quest for true Bodhi (enlightenment) seems to have been traded for a LinkedIn badge.

​THE 6TH SHRI ATAL BIHARI VAJPAYEE MEMORIAL DEBATE is not a space for the casual speaker. It is a reckoning for the thinkers, the critics, and the visionaries. We are asking the toughest question of our generation: Has India’s obsession with "getting a job" killed its ability to "create a thought"?

​THE MOTION:

"THBT India's prioritization of employability has replaced its epistemology with credentialism, undermining its civilisational legacy and innovative potential."

​This is your summons. You are not coming here to represent yourself; you are coming to carry the intellectual weight of your entire Faculty. Whether you belong to the Arts, Sciences, Social Sciences, or Tech
-it’s time to prove that your discipline is more than just a gateway to a paycheck.

​The Arena Rules:

​Format: Conventional Debate (Hindi & English sections).
​The Team: Two gladiators per faculty-one to build the case, one to tear it down.
​The Clock: 3 minutes to convince, 1 minute to survive the rebuttal.

​Logistics:

📅 Date: 25th April 2026
🕘 Time: 09:00 AM Sharp
📍 Venue: To be announced (Keep your notifications on).

​How to Enter:

Individual brilliance is not enough. You must be the official choice of your Institute. Contact your Faculty Student Advisor (FSA) or College Principal immediately to secure your spot as the official representative.

​Entry is free. The standard of thought required? Priceless.

A power-packed 1 vs 1 Debate Competition unfolded on 4th April, brought to life by Rhetorica: The Debating Society, BHU.

From fierce arguments to electrifying energy, the room was filled with voices that refused to stay unheard. Each participant stepped forward with conviction, making every round more intense than the last.

We were honoured to have our esteemed judges, Tushar Dwivedi and Tanmay Gaur, whose sharp insights and passion for debating elevated the entire experience.

With the constant support and guidance of Madhu Gawaldas Tapadia Ma’am, Faculty of Science, this competition turned into a truly impactful event.

The highlight? A gripping open discussion at the end, where ideas clashed, perspectives evolved, and debates extended beyond the stage.

This wasn’t just a competition, it was a celebration of voices, courage, and the art of argument.
