Prof Y Bhagavan Memorial Inter Collegiate State Level English Debate Competition jointly organized by Rotary Mid Town Mysore and Shri Dharmasthala Manjunatheshwara Institute for Management Development Mysore, was inaugurated this morning at the Institute's Auditorium. The event attracted 60 Debaters from various colleges within Karnataka. Mr L Govindaraj, Senior Advocate and close friend of Late Prof Y Bhagavan was the invited Chief Guest. Speaking on the occasion, veteran Advocate said, Prof Y Bhagavan was an outstanding and brilliant English Teacher and was known for his magical lectures. He called upon the modern youth to make good use of modern electronic tools to enhance debating capabilities. He pointed out that there is vast difference between debates of yesteryear and modern times. Debates used to be for and against on any given issue, whereas, in the present times, one can elaborately talk on single sided issues viz. truth vs truth, right vs right and democracy vs democracy. Earlier, Rtn. S. Bhanu Chandran brought the gathering to order and welcomed the participants. Dr N.R. Parasuraman Director SDMIMD, in his talk, said that the Institute was witnessing a major debate event and expressed his consent to conduct similar events in the future. |
