INTER-HOUSE DEBATE COMPETITION

CLASSES: VI-VIII

DATE: 23rd AUGUST 2014

Debate is an organized clash of good ideas. Each side employs worthwhile evidence to promote their viewpoint and to rebut the ‘flawed’ evidence advanced by the other side.  It is probably one of the best learning tools one could possibly have. No matter what profession one enters, he/she needs to acquire the skills for debating. Keeping this in mind, debate competitions are held in Arwachin International School every year to give the students the tools they need to be more successful. Debating helps the students to enhance their critical thinking skills and also improve their speaking skills and make them more confident.

Career Counselling Seminar

Islamic Culture Centre, Lodhi Estate, New Delhi

22^nd August,2014

Two teachers, Mrs. Sangita Sharma and Mr. Alexander Francis attended a workshop on career counselling  conducted by “Gyanodaya” at Islamic Culture Centre, Lodhi Estate, New Delhi , on 22^nd August,2014.The topic of the presentation centered  around the “Changes in Delhi Universities and Emerging Universities”.

The chief speaker and counselor, Mr. Jitin Chawla, introduced the main topic of the day through a PPT on the same, promising that the same would be e-mailed to the participants within a few working days. The PPT described several new and old courses being offered by DU to its students.He mentioned the new concept of a meta universities being tried in various universities of the NCR.

A budding author, Karan Varma talked of the virtues of maintaining constancy with changes. He advocated constructive change coupled with continuity of all that is good in the old tradition. He noted that there are winds of change  being felt everywhere and it is conviction that is to be preferred to career. “Go where your heart goes and your career shall follow you.”

The same thoughts echoed through the talks of Dr. Saini, the Principal of DPS RK Puram and Dr. Varshney,the Dean South Campus, D U. They said that the students must be encouraged and left free to follow their inclinations and that itself would show them the way forward.Dr. Varshney added that  the fallacy that there is some difference between  the teaching, the faculty,the libraries or the infrastructure of the North and the South campuses of D U must be corrected and the parents must be counseled that there is no truth in the rumours.

Dr.  Varsheny also emphasized the fact that what matters ultimately is the curriculum provided by the universities: what counts is the student’s inter-disciplinary knowledge of subjects: what holds the student in good stead is his/her conviction. He also said that the university is trying to give academics a philosophical depth and vision.

Dr. Saini added by saying that the Indian students must shed the herd mentality of flocking to foreign universities. He asserted that we have the best of faculty here and those foreign universities treat India as a ripe marketing ground . 

It  was brought to the notice of the participants that  vocational courses of CBSE are not considered for admission to D U. Those students are supposed to pursue vocational training and are expected to join vocational institutions for diplomas.

The world is changing and we all must adapt to technology in a big way if we wish move abreast of modern times. The future of work are going to be communication, luxury  and fashion business and any one in the business of counseling must be aware of the changes.

Dr. Rehan from Jamia Milia Universities acquainted the audience with the courses being offered by the universities. He sought to dispel some  of the misunderstanding regarding his university.

Mr. Jitin Chawla concluded the conclave by introducing several streams of studies being offered by D U and several upcoming universities across the NCR.
