Alumni Talk

The Inter-Institute Debate 2026 was successfully hosted by the Centre for Sustainability at GLBIMR, in collaboration with UPAY NGO, on 25th February 2026 at the GL Bajaj campus, Greater Noida.

This year's compelling theme — "Digital India: Is Ethical Progress Possible in the Age of Rapid Technology?" — opened the floor to powerful, thought-provoking conversations.

From digital surveillance vs. right to privacy… to AI bias, the digital divide, and social media's role in democracy — 25 teams from reputed institutions engaged in intellectually charged rounds that truly raised the bar.

The participants impressed everyone with:

• Strong research-backed arguments
• Analytical depth
• Confident rebuttals
• Balanced, ethical perspectives

Winners:

• Winner: Keshav Rai & Palak – Lovely Professional University
• 1st Runner-Up: Lavy Goel & Shivam Kumar – GLBIMR
• 2nd Runner-Up: Neetisha Kapil & Sristhi Semwal – University of Delhi
• Solo Category Winner: Pragya – KCC Institute

The event concluded with prize distribution and inspiring words encouraging youth-led dialogue for building a responsible, inclusive, and ethically strong Digital India.

At GLBIMR, conversations are not just discussions — they are the foundation of leadership.
