Hall Debating Club General Secretary Masum Abdullah conducted the program.

Vice-Chancellor Prof Dr. Niaz Ahmad Khan congratulated the participants in the competition and said that by participating in debate practice and co-educational activities, human values are developed among the students and social responsibility is developed. Disregarding all pressures, the debaters protested against the various anomalies of the society through logic. We have seen the reflection of this in the mass movement of 24. In any case, the practice of debate is important for the establishment of truth in society. Therefore, debate practice should be continued with the aim of creating public awareness and social development.

It is to be noted that the guests unveiled a souvenir titled 'Naxi Kanthar Math' at the event.
