Most of the local colleges also participated vigorously in the debate, which worked on a knock out pattern.

Dr. K N S Kang, General Secretary, LMA and Director General, PCTE Group of Institutes explained in his inaugural address that the old debating pattern did not allow and encourage students to actively apply information and knowledge to their debates and connect them to the conversation in hand, that is why PCTE had adopted the British Parliamentary Debating pattern and wants the entire state to evolve to this international style of debating.

Mr. V K Goyal, President LMA addressed the students at the inaugural function & concluding function and spoke to them about golden virtues to be successful in life and career. He talked extensively about simple but forgotten things like hardwork, honesty, and clear intentions. He also warned the students not to fall into the pitfalls which most of their generation does, including not being punctual, or observing basic courtesies. Mr. Goyal encouraged the students to over perform and under promise and deliver with Excellence.
