Indirapuram Public school for Girls organized a two day national debate “Behes” in which more than 250 students from different schools participated.

At the two days of the Patna Round students explored various topics from Music, Philosophy, Liberal Arts, and science.

In the junior division a team from Radiant International won the trophy, while in the senior division a mixed team from Loyala and DAV took the shiny trophy home.

72 students from this Patna round qualified for the National’s finals of Behes termed as “MahaBehes” which is about to be held in Dwarka, Delhi this 26^th and 27^th December.
