\n\u2018Behes\u2019, a non-profit organization is a wonderful way to develop articulate public speaking, critical thinking, negotiating skills and growth in confidence amongst students in schools and colleges throughout India and beyond. <\/p>\n

The first day witnessed some adroit participants battle it out through three rounds. Each \u2018Behes\u2019 round was conducted in a simplified parliamentary format. Contestants participated in two categories \u2013 Cubs from classes 6 \u2013 8 and Lions from 9 \u2013 12 standards. They were given impromptu topics based on a suggested reading. The free-flowing debate format encouraged growth of research, collaborative and analytical prowess apart from oratory skills. The roller coaster ride of ideas was followed by the Christmas Ball, an evening of music, fun and frolic. The stars of the evening were budding Sri VIS musicians who moved the reverberating audience with their foot tapping numbers.<\/p><\/div>\n
