JMA Pilani Bags Honours in Birla School Itihas Parishad All India Hindi Debate Competition

The importance of Debate can be judged from the quote of French Essayist Joseph Joubert which goes as “It is better to debate a question without settling it than to settle a question without debating it. The aim of argument, or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress.”

JMA which started in 2004 with an enrollment of 60 students for the Nursery, LKG, First Junior and Class1 has grown today till Class XII with well over 900 students. While the school admits both boys and girls, the girl student enrollment has been steadily rising every year and is presently 50% of the total strength which itself is a matter of pride in a state like Rajasthan which had alarmingly low record of girl’s education.

For the past over six decades, every year at Pilani the Itihas Parishad has been conducting an All India Hindi debate competition at the century old Birla School which is the oldest Birla Institution at Pilani. The 68th debate competition held on 15 October 2016 for the middle school children had over 10 schools participating. The topic for debate this year was “Government of India Policies Responsible for Poor Performance in International Sports Events”. The venue for the debate was the imposing auditorium of the Birla School Pilani.

The prominent among the participating schools included the well known Pilani schools Birla School, Birla Public School, Birla Balika Vidyapeeth, Birla Shishu Vihar, Goenka Vidya Mandir, Hari Devi Jhutharam Shishu Sadan, Bal Niketan, CEERI Vidya Mandir etc as well as Schools from Jhunjhunu, Bhiwani, Hissar etc.

Miss Yogita Sharma Class VIII and Master Prarit Mudgal Class VII of JMA spoke for and against the topic respectively. When it was announced that Prarit Mudgal of JMA Pilani bagged the second prize, there was thunderous applause in the auditorium appreciating his powerful presentation on this burning topic. The JMA Pilani children who had come for the debate competition along with Shri Mahendra Kumar and Mrs Usha Sharma Senior Hindi Teachers at JMA who had groomed them for the competition left the auditorium with beaming faces and pride that they were part of an institution which is a jewel in the crown among the schools at Pilani.
