“You can sway a thousand men by appealing to their prejudices quicker than you can convince one man by logic.” Debate is one of the academic activities that give students creative room to express what they feel. The length and breadth of knowledge that they gain through this is simply unparallel. Vatsalya International School has set the benchmark for conducting activities in such a way that the students not only enjoy but also learn a great deal from it. With the same perspective in view, the Inter-House Debate Competition was held for the classes XI&XII on 20th April 2019 in the school premises. The topic chosen was ‘Artificial Intelligence is detrimental to Human Progress’. The four different houses- Mars, Jupiter, Neptune and Venus prepared their teams of two speakers each, one argued for the motion and the other against the motion. The teams were well prepared and they used various skills like overstatement, anecdotes, definition, rhetoric, irony etc. to convince the audience. The participants, armed with statistics and data validated and made their arguments more emphatic with right facial expressions, body movements and gestures. After every round of Affirmative and Negative speakers Rebuttal round was conducted. All the participants exhibited great oratorical skills. They put in tremendous hard work to showcase their hidden talent. The debaters displayed confidence in presenting their arguments before audience and a panel of eminent jury members. At the end of the heated but interesting debate which lasted over two hours, finally Neptune House was declared the winner. The Principal appreciated and applauded the performances of the participants and motivated the students to avail such opportunities to cultivate and refine their oratorical skills. It was a great learning experience for the students as well. The day finally concluded on a joyous note.

Our Prestigious Vatsalya International School had organised a 7 days tour to Uttarakhand in the month of March from 21st – 28th 2019. It was an Educational cum Entertainment tour for the students of 5th to 11th standard. Mr. Yogesh Shukla, Mr. Ganesh Chavan, Mr. Avdhoot are the supporting teachers for this tour. During this tour students visited some of the most amazing places in India. They Visited Haridwar, Rishikesh, Mussorie and Nainital. During their visit to Haridwar, students attended the spiritual Ganga Aarti and offered their prayers to the Holy River Ganga at Hari Ki Pauri. Next day’s visit to Rishikesh was pleasant and students went to see Laxman Jhoola and Geeta Bhavan. After the Spiritual visit to Haridwar and Rishikesh it was time to visit Mussoorie – the land of famous Kempty Waterfalls. At the falls students enjoyed bathing and there after went to shop at Tibetan Market and on the Mall road. They got an opportunity to be one with nature and explore its rich bio diversity. Thereafter the students Visited Nainital – The land of Lakes. Places like Naina Devi temple and Bhimtal Lake familiarized them with the Indian mythology and he high ideals of our ancestors. Besides this they enjoyed trekking and shopping in Nainital. The students learnt to share and adjust with others; they were able to maintain good relationship with others.
