THE MSRMPD GENDER NIGHT: As debaters, we represent a generation of young citizens who have been tasked with the opportunity to build a fairer and an equal society. It is therefore our responsibility to engage in open discussion on gender, the implications of its social construct and most importantly, our duties with regard to creating a holistic environment for everyone to live in. In a first of its kind initiative in Indian debating tournaments, we present a social event exclusively to talk about these issues. We request your active participation in this.
The official invite has been added as an attachment along with the registration fee and other details. All pertinent information including
