DebSoc KMC

The Debating Society, Kirori Mal College was established in 1958 under the guidance of Frank Thakurdas, a celebrated figure of our college. The Society is one of the oldest debating societies in the University. Over the years, it has earned a prestigious status in the national debating circuit. The Society has the unique distinction of being the oldest bilingual society with both the English and Hindi sections, unified under one structure. The Society organises two prominent inter college debating competitions, hosting both national and international teams. These include the Frank Thakurdas Memorial Debate (the second oldest English Parliamentary Debate in the country) and N.S Pradhan Memorial Parliamentary Debate (Asia’s first Hindi Parliamentary Debate). We also organise two fresher tournaments each year (in Hindi and English respectively) to initiate the fresher debaters into the circuit with an average pool of 300-350 people for every year.
