The topic for the first round was ‘Privatisation of Vaccine: Boon or Bane.' The top four participants from the first round moved on to next round, and the topic of the debate was ‘Can the pandemic revive international cooperation?’ In the second round, the participants had five minutes to prepare their arguments. The top two participants: Tanishka from 4 MAIS and Aman from 2 MAIS moved on to the final round. Rielza of 2 MAIS, who finished third, missed out on the final round by a thin margin of 0.5 points. ‘Covid-19 has accelerated the migration crisis and global uncertainty’ was the topic for the final round.
