The Indian Debating League (IDL)

As the Official Hosts for Cambridge School and Oxford Union Debates for Indian High school students, The Indian Debating League (IDL) nurtures India's best minds on regional, national, and international matters. With International wins at Harvard, Yale, Oxford Union, and LSE this year, the Indian Debating League 4.0 is set to make history by uniting 1 million debaters from 100 cities across the country. With unparalleled reach and impact, we aim to foster intellectual exchange, empower voices, and cultivate the next generation of leaders.


This year, the theme is "Ethics in the Changing Global Order: India Leading the Way." One of the world's oldest civilisations, India is now steering ethical leadership in a rapidly evolving global order. Amid technological disruptions and geopolitical shifts, India is uniquely positioned to lead with its values of dharma (righteousness) and seva (selfless service).
