CHAIRMAN MESSAGE
The quest for knowledge, insight and wisdom is part and parcel of
life. The more we learn, the more we realize that we do not know. In
praise of constant learning, Henry Ford, quoted- “Anyone who stops
learning is old, whether at 20 or 80. Anyone who keeps learning stays
young.” Great learning must be accompanied by willingness to listen
to others. Discipline, KLE has discovered, has an intrinsic ability to
be self- perpetuating. This discipline is the secret of holistic approach
of KLE.
Be a proud partner of KLE family. Lastly with quotes of William A Ward, I advise young and
beautiful minds: “PLAN PURPOSEFULLY, PREPARE PRAYERFULLY, AND PROCEED
POSITIVELY”.

ABOUT THE COMPETITION
According to English philosopher, Thomas Hobbes “The law is the Public Conscience”. We
need to go beyond, make the next step and start to really cultivate and encourage skills for the
next century. A learning community needs to be developed where sharing ideas, cultivate ideas,
enhance communication skills and move forward thereby empowering ourselves to see a better
world . The competition helps in bringing the participants all around the globe thereby getting
people closer. It adds to a greater advantage of knowing the various aspects in and around the
world with various views for and against. It enlarges our scope of thought and knowledge. The
Debate Competition is not only about competition itself, but an educational extended activity
that includes, familiarization with contemporary issues of law which provides new and exciting
way of exploring the changing dynamics of the law. That develops the ability of analyses and
synthesize data and information to form arguments and take position, familiarizing self with
exposure to audience, compete and take action in college and local community proposing for a
better world.
Our College sets a motto to help the participants through the debate competition in
finding issues ranging from basic social policy to grander theory about constitutional design
and democratic theory which suggests that legal debates overlap with several other social
institutions and expectations. With a view to strengthening the roots of democracy and intricate
healthy habits of discipline, tolerance of the views of others and to enable the student
community to understand in depth the issues happening in and around the country, such
competitions provide a platform to express various perspectives on the contemporary legal
issuers, subsequently producing cross current of thoughts on developing matters. This stage
touches the activity and yearning young law student’s to contribute in the field of law.
The Competition intends to build dedicated debaters who grow up to become persuasive
speakers, analytical thinkers, and proficient researchers. Not only do debaters learn to write
well-reasoned and persuasive arguments, but they also learn to love researching and writing.
Debate work becomes a satisfying competitive outlet for a student’s creativity and intellect.
Moreover, both debate and legal work involve applying relevant theory and precedent to the
specific text of a codified law or resolution. Given the nature of competitive debate.
