Debate Competition @ Darshan College, Kengeri.
“Argument is conclusive... but... it does not remove doubt, so that the mind may rest in the sure knowledge of the truth, unless it finds it by the method of experiment.”
In view of contemplating the current themes and trends, and to give an intellectual boost to the young minds Darshan College invited three highly intellectual jury members who have made a difference in the society i.e. Mr. Sugun Daniel Coelho, Mrs. Philomena Fernandes and Mr. M Ramachandran to deliberate, discuss and to discern the arguments and counter-arguments. The event began with the famous verse: “Vidya dadati vinayam, vinayam dadati patratam, patratvam dhanamapnoti, dhanaddharmam tatah sukham” which means “true or complete knowledge gives discipline, from discipline comes worthiness, from worthiness one gets wealth, from wealth one does good deeds, from that comes joy.” The intellectual calibre of the competitors was tested on the following topics: 1. Wearing Helmets is essential for both vehicle rider and pillion. 2. Social networking sites are generally beneficial to our way of life. The jury declared the winners on the parameters of content, language, delivery, logic, synthesis, argumentation, time utilization and presentation. The event co-ordinator Prof. Basanthi Goswamy was hailed for the leadership, the event competitors were applauded for their intellectual capacity to argue and to counter-argue.
