Background
The L.N.Birla Memorial Debate was instituted in 1994 to commemorate the memory of this great educator and liberal thinker. From 1994 to 1999 it continued as an annual inter-school competition in which senior schools of Calcutta took part with enthusiasm and vigour. The success of the debate in Calcutta, the keenness of the participants, the response of the house, the penetration of the arguments, prompted the school to rename the debate and recast it in a new mould that would make it a national event, including colleges as well as schools in the ambit.
The Inter Instituitional L.N.Birla National Debate
The Inter Instituitional L.N.Birla National Debate was thus born in the new millennium and it gave voice to the bold and brave youth of our country. Regional Competitions were held in eight cities, namely Calcutta, New Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Jaipur, Pune and Mumbai from July to September 2004 and the winners were invited to Calcutta for the National Finals in December 2004. At the National Finals every year will be those who are adjudged the Best Speaker in their city respectively from the participating schools and the participating colleges
