As part of the commemorative Founder’s Memorial Series, SAI International Education Group proudly recognized the winners of the esteemed Founder’s Debate Cup 2024. This year’s competition showcased the debating prowess of top students from Classes IX-XII, who engaged in thought-provoking debates, demonstrating their critical thinking, eloquence, and leadership.

In a ceremony following the Founder’s Memorial Talk, where author and mythologist Shri Amish Tripathi delivered an inspiring keynote, the debate winners were honored for their exceptional performance. Their dedication to intellectual rigor and effective communication exemplifies the visionary ideals of Dr. Bijaya Kumar Sahoo, SAI’s beloved founder, whose commitment to fostering leadership and articulate expression continues to inspire SAIoneers.

Tarun Tapan Bhuyan, a Class XI student and the proud winner of SAI International's prestigious Founder’s Debate Cup 2024, shared his gratitude and excitement at the event. Reflecting on his journey, Tarun expressed, “Participating in the Founder’s Debate has been an incredibly enriching experience. It has taught me not just the power of words, but the importance of understanding and respect in dialogue. I’m deeply grateful for the mentorship and opportunities at SAI, which have helped me grow both intellectually and personally.”

"Participating in the debate gave me a chance to dive deep into important ideas and challenge my own perspectives. Listening to today's talk was inspiring—it reminded me that understanding our heritage and values is just as crucial as learning new ones. Events like these not only sharpen our minds but also connect us with a purpose beyond ourselves.", said Anoushka Panda, a Class XII Humanities student.
