AI can amplify our voices, but it is our values, choices,

and understanding of our nation that truly shape our identity.

An Inter-Class Debate Competition was organized on 25^th August 2026 for Class VIII on the thought-provoking topic, “Can AI Strengthen Patriotism or will it dilute National Identity?” The competition provided students with an opportunity to explore the impact of Artificial Intelligence on patriotism and national identity. Through well-prepared 3–4-minute debate speeches, the participants presented creative arguments, innovative AI-based solutions, and diverse perspectives. They also reflected on the importance of using AI as a supportive tool rather than becoming completely dependent on AI-driven solutions. The participants were judged on content quality, relevance of arguments, logical reasoning, critical thinking, rebuttal skills, confidence, clarity of speech, and time management. Their confident presentations demonstrated their ability to connect the topic with real-life experiences and contemporary issues. The competition served as an enriching platform for students to enhance their communication, critical thinking, public speaking, and presentation skills, preparing them to express their ideas confidently in future.
