Naresh Sharma
Jaipur: Chief Minister
Ashok Gehlot said on
Monday that civil soci-
ety and voluntary or-
ganizations have an im-
portant role to play for
the underprivileged
sections of the society
and understand their
ground needs. “These
organizations play an
important role in mak-
ing the schemes made
for public welfare by
the government, effec-
tive and useful. Civil
society also helps the
government to intro-
spect and review and
improve the plans, poli-
cies and programs of
the government. Impor-
tant steps like RTI,
RTE, MNREGA, food
security have been tak-
en in the country only
after the suggestions of
civil society
. Turn to P7
Those who deny the
importance of civil
society do not have
faith in democracy,
CM Gehlot said
Next budget will be

Jaipur: The vacant
lands of old habitation
will be populated in a
planned manner for
which a big decision
has been taken. Approv-
al will be given under
section 69A of the Mu-
nicipal Act so that
planned development
can be done on the lands
of the old habitation
area in the cities. UDH
and LSG departments
issued orders in this re-
gard for the first time to
bring housing schemes
on vacant land in the
old habitation areas.
Due to the possibility
of issuing a large num-
ber of leases in Pra-
shasan Shehron Ke
Sang (PSKS) abhiyan,
the entire focus of the
state government is on
this. Apart from these,
many bodies have given
feedback to the govern-
ment that there are
many huge vacant
lands in these areas,
which are likely to have
unplanned develop-
ment in future.
According to experts,
the benefit of this order
is also likely to be given
to the members of the
former royal families
who have vacant lands
in these areas.
Leases will be issued
for temples built on
land up to 500 sqm in old
habitation areas.

the Eastern Rajasthan
Canal Project (ERCP) as
it is a major issue and
concerns people of 13

ing water problems. He
said that if need be, he

In a special conversa-
tion with First India,

state government is
committed to ERCP and
the Modi government at
the Centre must keep
its promise. He said that
CM Ashok Gehlot has
taken a big initiative by
making budgetary pro-
visions for the project.
Meena, while appreci-
ating the initiative of
BJP MP Kirori Lal Mee-
na in the matter, said
that in eastern Ra-
jasthan, everyone wants
ERCP. “The issue is be-
yond politics and should
not be seen through a
political lens,” he said.
Meena, reacting to
the rhetoric of the

gress from BSP, said
that when they came

New Delhi (FIB): Su-
preme Court on Monday
refused to intervene in a
Raj HC’s order which had
granted parole of fifteen
days to a life-term con-
vict to father of a child.
The high court’s ruling
was challenged in the SC
by the Rajasthan govt
last month. The state
gov, in its petition, had
contended that order has
opened flood gates and
that many convicts are
now applying for parole
on the same ground. The
Supreme Court today
asked the Raj govt to
approach the high court
with its concerns.
A bench of Justic-
es Sanjiv Khanna
and Bela M
Trivedi said
if any other
convict gets
furlough
on the same
ground and the Raj govt
has an objection to it,
then it can approach
the High Court. The top
court said it has reserva-
tions about some of the
observations made by
the Raj HC, but it will not
intervene in the matter.
On April 18, the Raj HC
gave parole to Nand Lal
— who is in Ajmer Cen-
tral Jail — after his wife
approached the court,
seeking that she be
allowed to have a child.
Citing “want of progeny”
she appealed that her
husband be granted
parole. She pleaded
that she has been
deprived of her
right to have
progeny, even
though she
has not done
any offence
and not
punished.
Jaipur (FIB): Rajasthan
High Court Bar Association
has written a letter to the
Legal Services Authority
and questioned the Lok
Adalats to be organized
on August 13 in all the
courts of the state by the
Rajasthan State Legal
Services Authority.
Bar Prez Bhuvnesh Sharma
and General Secy GP
Sharma said in the letter
that the Lok Adalats are not
being held smoothly. “With
the money spent on Lok
Adalats, many new courts
can be set up and cases
can be settled quickly,” they
said. The upcoming Lok
Adalat is proposed on Aug
13 and there is a public
holiday on the dates before
and after Aug 13. In such a
situation, the members/ad-
vocates and office bearers
of the Bar will not be able
to register their presence in
this Lok Adalat. Therefore,
this Lok Adalat should be
adjourned,” he said.
Jaipur: After all, for how
long will the SMS hospital
depend on the additional
charge? A year ago Dr
Vinay Malhotra was given
additional responsibility
of the hospital whereas Dr
Malhotra is already han-
dling the responsibility of
Super Specialty Centre. In
such a situation, Dr Mal-
hotra has been handling
two important respon-
sibilities for a long time.
Surprisingly, Dr Malhotra
has himself expressed
his pain. Despite that no
decision has been taken
so far. —Vikas Sharma
Jaipur: The Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad national secy
Hoshyar Meena said that the admission process in universi-
ties and colleges is going on, amid this even if elections are
held on August 26, even 50% of the students will not be
able to vote. In such a situation, students should be given
concession by extending the date. Meanwhile, a final warn-
ing has been issued to the outgoing office representatives of
the Students Union who have not vacated the student union
offices. According to Notice, if the student union offices are
not vacated by Tuesday, then the offices will be locked on
Wednesday by DSW. According to the rules, the university
admin had to get the office vacated by the end of session.
Jaipur: MP Dr Kirodi Lal Meena on Monday said that the
govt should make efforts for the protection of Amagarh, the
historical heritage of the Meena community. “For this, I have
also sent a letter to Cm Gehlot,” he said. Meena went to the
Shiva temple in Amagarh today and offered prayers. He also
hoisted the white colored flag of the Meena community with
Jai Meenesh written on it. The MP also targeted independent
MLA Ramkesh Meena, who was supporting Congress govt.

didn’t reach out to us. To which the Congress
leader replied that he was infected with
COVID-19 and was hospitalised, therefore he
could not visit her earlier. “The village school will

Bharti Airtel is the second
biggest bidder in the 5G
spectrum action. Reliance
Jio is the biggest bidder
accounting for 58.65% of the
total valued at Rs 1,50,173
crore. “Airtel is delighted
with the results of the 5G
auction. This spectrum
acquisition at the latest
auction has been a part of a
deliberate strategy to buy
the best spectrum assets at a
substantially lower relative
cost compared to our
competition,” Gopal Vittal,
MD CEO, Bharti Airtel,
said in a statement
5G
he fifth generation (5G) tele-
com services are likely to be
launched in India by October
this year as the government
on Monday successfully com-
pleted the spectrum auction
mopping up over Rs 1.50 lakh
crore in bids by four compa-
nies including Reliance Jio,
Bharti Airtel, Vodafone Idea
and Adani Data Networks.
Union Minister of Com-
munications, Electronics
and Information Technology
Ashwini Vaishnaw said the
allocation of the spectrum to
the successful bidders would
be done by August 10 and the
5G services are likely to be
launched in the country by
October this year. “Auction
has been completed and in
the next few days, till August
10, all formalities including
approving and allocating the
spectrum will be done,” he
added.
It seems we would be able
to launch 5G in the country
by October. The ongoing 5G
spectrum auction indicates
that the country’s telecom
industry has come a long way
in 5G advancements. Better
availability of spectrum will
improve the quality of tele-
com services in the country
.
“Jio’s 5G solution is made
in India, by Indians and to
suit the need of every Indian.
Jio is fully ready for 5G roll-
out in the shortest period of
time because of its nation-
wide fibre presence, all-IP
network with no legacy infra-
structure, indigenous 5G
stack and strong global part-
nerships across the technol-
ogy ecosystem,” Reliance Jio
said.
The total cost of acquiring
the right to use the above
technology agnostic spec-
trum for a period of 20 years
is Rs 88,078 crore. As per
terms of the spectrum auc-
tion, the spectrum payments
have to be made over 20
equated annual instalments,
with interest computed at 7.2
per cent per annum.
“Jio has acquired a unique
combination of low-band,
mid-band and mmWave spec-
trum, which coupled with
our deep fibre network and
indigenous technology plat-
forms, will enable us to pro-
vide 5G Everywhere and 5G
For All (consumers and en-
terprises),” the company
said.
Through this acquisition,
Jio’s total owned spectrum
footprint has increased sig-
nificantly to 26,772 MHz (up-
link + downlink), which is
the highest in India.
“5G technology is the revo-
lution that can alter India’s
manufacturing, services and
several other sectors. We re-
main fully committed to the
Government’s Digital India
vision and will continue to do
what is needed to ensure that
India becomes a beacon for
the world in terms of tech-
nology,” Vittal said.

ECONOMY SAFE,
SAYS EX-GUV OF
RBI, FM ALLAYS ALL
FEARS OF INFLATION
day after former Re-
serve Bank of India’s
Governor Raghuram
Rajan allayed fears of
Indian economy go-
ing the Sri Lanka and Pakistan
way
, Finance Minister Nirmala
Sitharaman tabled data of the
economy’s sector-wise perfor-
mance to dismiss fears of the
economy slipping into either in-
flationorstagflation.Responding
to the demand for discussion on
inflation in Parliament, the fi-
nance minister said that her ef-
fortsweretobringinflationbelow
7 percent and enumerated meas-
ures the government and the RBI
have taken in that direction.
Lauding the Indian central
bank RBI Rajan said, “The RBI
has done a good job in increas-
ing the reserves. Our foreign
debts are also less.” Low foreign
debt and high Forex reserves
make Indian economy resilient,
Rajan said. In the past Rajan
was critical of the way the econ-
omy was being handled. This
praise was used by Sitharaman
to chide Congress members who
have been constantly raising the
issue of price rise. Walking out
was the best option for them.

Narendra Modi
said “Ease of Jus-
tice” is as impor-
tant as Ease of
Doing Business and Ease of
Living in the 75th year of in-
dependence being celebrated
as Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav
as he urged the judiciary to
expedite the release of un-
dertrials confined in various
prisons. Release of under-
trial prisoners is not the re-
sponsibility of the judiciary
alone. States must also take
their share of the blame.
The Supreme Court has
been repeatedly emphasiz-
ing the importance of bail
not jail. The PM’s exhorta-
tion to the judiciary came a
week after the Supreme
Court issued a stern warn-
ing to Uttar Pradesh where
hundreds of one-time offend-
ers have been languishing in
jails for over ten years de-
spite the Apex Court’s or-
ders. A bench of Justices SK
Kaul and MM Sundresh held
both the state government
and the Allahabad High
Court responsible for being
insensitive to the plight of
undertrials and warned that
it “will pass a blanket order
granting bail”. The court
asked the UP government to
furnish details of undertri-
als in jail.
Even Chief Justice of In-
dia NV Ramana recently
said that the judiciary
should expedite release of
undertrials awaiting legal
aid and urged that “modern
technological tools should
be used to enhance the pace
of justice delivery”.
Out of 6.10 lakh prisoners
in the country nearly 80 per-
cent are undertrials. Their
continued presence in jails
slows down the criminal jus-
tice system. The slow justice
delivery mechanism adds to
the pile of cases pending be-
fore the courts. Being mostly
from the lower strata of soci-
ety these under-trials have no
access to legal aid.

CM Nitish Kumar’s deci-
sion to build a film city
at Rajgir, in the latter’s
home district of Nalanda.
The former minister rued
that the choice of Rajgir
was made overturning
his proposal to build a
film city in Valmiki Nagar,
a picturesque remote
township in West Cham-
paran along India-Nepal
border. “I wager Nitish
Kumar does not know,
as much as I do, about
filmmaking,” he said.

New Delhi: Trinamool
Congress President
and West Bengal Chief
Minister Mamata Ba-
nerjee is going to visit
Delhi for four-five days.
She is expected to
reach Delhi in the mid-
dle of the ongoing
monsoon session of
Parliament and just be-
fore the Vice Presiden-
tial election. This time
her Delhi tour is ex-
pected to be different
from before. In fact,
her visit this time
around is like a politi-
cal test. This visit will
show what kind of pol-
itics she will do in the
coming days. Mamata
is on the back foot with
the arrest of her par-
ty’s number two leader
Partha Chatterjee and
the recovery of a pile
of notes in the ED’s ac-
tion at her close ones.
This is the first time
that Mamata’s stance
has loosened. Instead
of supporting Partha
Chatterjee, she re-
moved him from minis-
terial post and all party
posts. At the same
time, it also said that
the Trinamool will not
raise any question on
the punishment given
to Parth according to
the law. Informed
sources say that over
Rs 50 crore cash and
Partha Chatterjee has
been sacrificed to save
Abhishek Banerjee
and his wife. The deci-
sion not to vote in the
Vice Presidential elec-
tion is also being said
to be part of the same
bargain.
That’s why this time
Didi’s visit is very im-
portant. According to
sources, she will reach
Delhi on August 4 and
will stay till August 8.
During this, there is
talk of her meeting So-
nia Gandhi on August
5, i.e. Friday. The next
day is the election of
the Vice President. The
question is, will Mama-
ta change her mind af-
ter meeting Sonia Gan-
dhi and her MPs will
vote in favor of Con-
gress candidate Marga-
ret Alva? In fact, the
most important meet-
ing of Mamta’s visit to
Delhi this time is to be
with Sonia and only af-
ter this meet will it be
known the strategy un-
der which Didi will
take her politics ahead.
This time the CM of
West Bengal will at-
tend the Governing
Council meeting of
NITI Aayog, which she
had earlier boycotted.
This meeting is to be
held on August 7 under
the chairmanship of
the PM. Mamata, who
has been showing re-
bellious attitude in the
meetings convened by
the central govern-
ment till now, is attend-
ing the meeting of
NITI Aayog, which is
believed to be a sign
that she is not in the
mood to increase fur-
ther confrontation
with the government.
Then how can it be ex-
pected that she will do
the politics of opposi-
tion and work out a
strategy with Sonia
Gandhi? In the situa-
tion she appears to be
in, she is unlikely to
work for opposition
unity. However, in this
possible five-day visit,
she is scheduled to
meet all the leaders
from Sharad Pawar to
Akhilesh Yadav and K
Chandrashekhar Rao.
Mamata didi’s Delhi tour will be her penultimate ‘political test’!

INDIA

Mahesh Sharma
New Delhi: Adhir Ran-
jan Chowdhury is of no
use to the Congress and
yet, despite this, he is
holding two important
positions. He is the
President of West Ben-
gal Pradesh Congress
Committee and Leader
of Congress in Lok Sab-
ha. Congress had made
him the state president
before the last assembly
elections with great
hope, but despite all his
efforts, not a single Con-
gress MLA could win.
Yet he is the President
of the state unit. Simi-
larly, because of him in
the Lok Sabha, the Con-
gress has been in trou-
ble many times and,
without any intention
to do so, he has helped
the central government
to divert attention from
the real issues. Because
of him, Mamata Baner-
jee is also angry with
the Congress and her
party keeps a fair dis-
tance from the Con-
gress. Only when the
controversy has arisen
due to his remarks
made on the President,
the demand for his re-
placement has intensi-
fied.
But the question is
whom should the party
hand over the position
currently held by Adhir
in the Lok Sabha? Ra-
hul Gandhi should be-
come the leader of the
party in the Lok Sabha.
He can become both the
Congress President and
the leader of the Parlia-
mentary Party. In the
past also the Congress
President has been the
leader of the Parlia-
mentary Party, case in
point is Sonia Gandhi.
But in view of the BJP
and especially Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi’s attack on dynas-
ty, he is not being made
a leader. Apart from
them, the names of
Shashi Tharoor and
Manish Tiwari are dis-
cussed but both of them
have been members of
G-23, a group of rebel
Congress leaders. Any-
way
, BJP has been slam-
ming Tharoor for a long
time and Tiwari has
taken a different line
from Congress on Agn-
eepath plan. The Con-
gress has experienced
leaders K Muraleed-
haran and K Suresh,
along with the newcom-
ers are Ravneet Singh
Bittu, Manickam
Tagore, Revanth Reddy
etc. Hence, if Congress
decides to change the
leader, it will not have
any problem in decid-
ing the name.

transfer in the current
government and it re-
mains to be seen as to
howlonghewillserveon
the seat of DG, HCM-RI-
PA, since he may get a
posting in the Centre as
Secretary at any time.
The appointment of
KK Pathak to the post of
Secretary
, Finance (Rev-
enue) is an ideal deci-
sion. A 2001 batch IAS,
Pathak is a hard-work-
ingandsilentperformer,
who has experience of
working in 2 districts as
a Collector and as Secre-
tary of 5 departments in
theStateSecretariat.No-
tably
, over the past year,
three Secretaries have
been changed in this im-
portant and responsible
position and it is be-
lieved that Pathak will
play a long innings here.
Kumar Pal Gautam
has been appointed as
the 7th Excise Commis-
sioner in the current
government. The reason
for quick changes of the
Commissioner has been
the inability of previous
officials to come true to
state government’s
hopes and tests. Kumar
Pal,a2009batchIAS,has
beenchosenfromamong
many claimants. Gau-
tam, who has served as
Collector in four dis-
tricts till now, was carry-
ing out the responsibili-
ty of RUIDP and it will
be worthwhile to see
how he successfully nav-
igates through the chal-
lenging responsibility
.
Notably
, Kumar Pal had
the additional charge of
the Project Director of
Jal Jeevan Mission.
However, whether Ku-
mar would continue to
execute his responsibili-
tiestowardstheMission,
has not been cleared by
the DoP
.
Handing T. Ravikant
the responsibility of the
PollutionControlBoard,
as an additional charge,
is also a surprising step
as he already has full-
time responsibility of
Prasaran Nigam and
Urja Nigam in the Vidy-
ut Bhawan. 1998 batch

and result-oriented of-

performance in the Fi-
nance Department as
well. It has merely been
3 months since he took
over the job at Vidyut
Bhawan and thus, hand-
ing him the new role of
Pollution Control Board
is not only impractical
but also unjustified.
LSG Secretary Jogar-
am was handed the ad-
ditional charge of City
Transport Company in
the previous list, i.e. two
major responsibilities.
Now,hehasbeenhanded
the additional charge of
Project Director, RUIDP
.
It has merely been 7
months since the 2005
batch IAS Jogaram was
promoted to the post of
Secretary and therefore,
in the initial stages, he
has been handed too
much work.

mentbecamesodisgrun-

jpal that in September
2021, she was suddenly
transferred to Ajmer
from Jaipur from her
post as Secretary
, Pan-
chayati Raj. But now, it
seemsalliswellbetween
the government and Ra-
jpal as she has been
brought back to the Sec-
retariat and handed the
reins of Rural Develop-
ment.
Even though a new
transfer list has been re-
leased, however, the
man-managementisstill
far from perfect and is
still extremely ‘dis-
turbed’. Therefore, a
new list is now due.
DOP tries to ‘handle’ man-mgmt, makes it more difficult for self!

New Delhi: Let us tell
you an interesting anec-
dote about the ‘discrete’
working style of Prime
Minister Narendra
Modi and Home Minis-
ter Amit Shah! The an-
ecdote pertains to the
candidature of Jagdeep
Dhankhar for the post
of Vice- President.
Highly placed sourc-
es in ‘relevant’ circles
have revealed that
Dhankhar had met the
Home Minister on July
15 at 11 am and briefed
him on the situation in
Bengal for about 40 min-
utes. After this, on July
16, at around 4 pm,
Dhankhar reached to
meet the Prime Minis-
ter and the entire focus
of the conversation held
for about half an hour
was on Bengal.
However, during
their meeting with
Dhankhar, Modi-Shah
did not even give an
iota of hint to the West
Bengal Governor of
his possible candida-
ture for the post of
Vice-President. And
then on the same day at
7 pm, JP Nadda an-
nounced Dhankhar’s
candidature in a press
conference.
During this time,
Dhankhar was at the
President’s farewell
banquet, where he re-
ceived Nadda’s mes-
sage. Even the Rashtra-
pati Bhavan was also
keeping an eye on all
these developments.
Therefore, immediately
after the said announce-
ment, Dhankhar’s din-
ner table was changed
and then Dhankhar sat
at the table next to the
President.

handed over an impor-
tant responsibility to
Gehlot for assembly
polls, thus he will chair
his first meeting as Sen-
ior Observer. Gehlot,
who has measured eve-

Hence, a poll strategy
will be made by meet-

ASTHANA NEW WB GOVERNOR?
Political circles in New Delhi are abuzz with the discus-
sion that former Delhi Police Commissioner Rakesh
Asthana, who retired from service on Sunday, could be
appointed as the next WB Governor. Notably, Bengal Gov-
ernor Jagdeep Dhankhar has recently been announced
as NDA’s candidate for the post of Vice- President his
appointment is believed to be a mere formality since
NDA has the required numbers. Thus, the seat vacated
by Dhankhar’s movement, could go to Asthana, who is
adept in handling law order of troubled areas.

f designers are
counting on
dazzle for
the even-
ing, they
are even
more cer-
tain that
plumage is
perfect for dai-
ly life. One of
the most remark-
able biological fea-
tures discovered in
animals is their feath-
ers. Thesekeratin-based
evolutionary add-ons let
birds fly
, protect them-
selves, stay warm, and
communicate. Beyond avi-
ary animals, it is the dy-
namicanddiversebeautyof
feathers that has captured
the attention of the globe;
for millennia, people have
used feathers as fashion ac-
cessories. However, the his-
tory of feathers has gradu-
ally changed from one that
depicts local cultures and
historical eras to one that
questions the development
of sustainability in fashion.
With our evolutionary
cousins the Neanderthals,
who lived circa 60 B.C.,
feathers were first used as
sartorial ornamentation.
According to scientific re-
search, Neanderthals pre-
ferred to wear the darker
feathers of raptors. Ostrich
feathers were later worn in
the hair of high-ranking an-
cient Egyptians as a sign of
devotion to Ma’at, the god-
dess of
truth and
b a l a n c e ,
who was pic-
tured with
wings and a
single feather
on her head. An-
cient tribes
throughout the
world saw the practice
of adorning the body
with natural materials
like feathers, pelts, and
leaves as a means to pay
tribute to the land’s pro-
tective properties.
This season, feathers
are added to almost every
casual piece of clothing,
from cute cardigan collars
and cuffs to sweatshirt
sleeves, leggings, and t-
shirts.
Wide-leg jeans and cable
knit sweaters are also em-
bellished with the material.
Even yet, if wearing feath-
ers still seems a little bold
to you, Monsoon Season is
a great opportunity to
treat yourself to stun-
ning feather attire. Be
like the bird who,
pausing in her flight
awhile on boughs
tooslight,feelsthem
give way beneath
her, and yet sings,
knowing she hath
wings. And that is why
we have brought this style
of fashion to lift up your
spirit because ‘You were
bornwithwings,whyprefer
to crawl through life?’

KARTIK BAJORIA
(The author is a Jaipur-based
Communication Skills
Educator Writer)
u b l i c
Speaking
is a much
sought-af-
ter skill.
The ability
to convinc-
ingly put forth
one’s ideas, views,
p e r s p e c t i v e s ,
thoughts and
opinions, is a cru-
cial and hugely ad-
vantageous power
to have. It is use-
ful to students at
school and col-
lege, and later in
one’s professional
work-life. One fac-
et of effective
communication is
of course to be
able to pen down
one’s thoughts.
The other and
arguably tougher
aspect is commu-
nicating these
views, vocalizing
and verbalizing
them, in a public
scenario. For the
latter, there is no
better forum, than
debating!
P
TAPPING INTO AN
INHERENT SKILL
People the world over,
and perhaps we Indi-
ans more than others,
love a gregarious argu-
ment. We have a rich
history of debating
through the various
ages of our history
and a culture of re-
solving problems, is-
sues, and matters,
through discussion
and deliberation. I tru-
ly believe that each In-
dian possesses an in-
herent quality to de-
bate – to weigh the
pros and cons of a
situation and come to
the most suitable con-
clusion/solution. We
debate in our heads all
the time, and make
choices based on these
debates, from the
smallest and most
seemingly banal ques-
tions such as Tea vs
Coffee to larger, more
pressing matters such
as whom to vote for. To
take this innate talent
and bring it on to a
formal Debating stage
is only going to hone
and polish this craft
that is naturally em-
bedded in us.
DEMOCRATIC FAIR
In a war-torn world
where several parts of
the globe are experi-
encing strife; it is all
the more important for
young people to real-
ize, understand, appre-
ciate, and implement
the potential of mean-
ingful dialogue. Noth-
ing is ever resolved
using violence. It is an
intellectual presenta-
tion of varying points
of view, and a deep
analysis of these di-
verse notions, that will
lead to a fair, demo-
cratic, and just man-
ner in which to tackle
and resolve issues. De-
bating instils precisely
these qualities in
young students who
seriously adopt this
pursuit. Not only do
they learn how to rep-
resent their concerns
but they also develop a
keen and genuine
sense of listening, and
therefore empathy to-
wards the other.
UNDERSTANDING
ISSUES OPINION
FORMATION
When young people
are given debating top-
ics, they are compelled
to study, research and
scrutinize those top-
ics. This increases
their understanding
of pressing global and
local issues, added to
which they then infuse
their views of the spe-
cific topic. It helps to
refine one’s opinion-
formation and develop
a logical, fact-based,
well-thought-out way
of approaching not
only the topics that
are being debated
but pretty
m u c h
any situation they are
confronted with,
throughout life. In that
sense, the scope of de-
bating is not restricted
to just that specific ver-
bal duel but rather a
lifelong skill and a sci-
entific way of thinking
and breaking down
any matter. Debaters
often imbibe a strong
sense of looking at a
certain issue from var-
ious perspectives, and
this is an invaluable
skill to have.
CONFIDENT
SELF-ASSURED
INDIVIDUALS
Debating is an activity
that forces partici-
pants to take on cer-
tain fears, head-on.
Stage fright, public ad-
dress, nervousness
and butterflies in one’s
stomach; are all very
normal feelings that
one experiences when
talking to a large, live
audience. The more
one debates, the better
one gets at dealing
with and handling
these fears. What one
emerges as, is a confi-
dent and self-assured
individual who is una-
fraid, uninhibited, and
unencumbered by the
prospect of speaking
one’s mind clearly
, con-
nivingly and succinct-
ly
. Yes, making
speeches and oth-
er forms of Public
Speaking can
also do the
same.Havingsaidthat,
I feel the efficacy, the
sharp learning curve
that debating presents,
is unparalleled.
AVENUES
Debaters who have
had a certain amount
of practice and expo-
sure automatically
open up several work
avenues for them-
selves. Many profes-
sions and fields of
work require clear
and concise communi-
cation skills. The For-
eign Services, Admin-
istrative Services and
Law are just a few ex-
amples that come to
mind instantly, where
an individual who can
persuasively put forth
ideas, views and opin-
ions will be very well
served in that particu-
lar role/job. There-
fore, not only does de-
bating help one at
school and college lev-
els but it is also some-
thing that has real-
world and practical
applications.
The world of debat-
ing is full of potential.
It is a dynamic, evolv-
ing, exciting ambit
that is far beyond just
an immersive time-
pass. It has relevant
and real merits and
should be tried by as
many young students
as possible. It can be
extremely liberating
and empowering. On
this, there is no
debate!
