The primary aim of the parliamentary style of debating is to introduce and cultivate in students, constructive thinking on issues which affect and influence human societies all over the world. The ethos of the NLS Debate has always been to promote the Parliamentary style of Debating in South Asia, and it welcomes the growing trend of newer institutions adopting this format.
From the time it started in 2002, NLSIU has strived to encourage participation from prestigious schools all over South Asia and has succeeded in the same. The participation of teams from the SAARC nations Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh over the last 5 years has added to the prestige and grandeur of this debating event.
The international spirit of the debate is reflected by the varied nationalities of the past winners of this event. The Faculty of Law, Colombo walked away with the rolling trophy at the 5th NLS Debate outdoing their close competitor, Ramjas College, New Delhi. The past winners include lIT Delhi and University College, Lahore.
