The third edition brought together 110 participants from over 100 national and international schools, eminent judges like International Debate competition winners, Principals, Senior Academicians, and Media. The winners of the 2022 competition were students from Reliance Foundation school in Surat, Ullens School in Lalitpur, Nepal, Sri Sathya Sai Vidya Vihar in Indore and DPS Modern Indian School in Doha, Qatar. This time, FNF has proudly collaborated with Youth 20 (Y20) which is an official consultation forum for youth from all G20 member countries. Y20 actively encourages youth as future leaders to raise awareness of global events, exchange ideas, argue, negotiate, and reach consensus. FNF topics will address the G20 key issues. FNF 2023 will have two competitions for different grades, Junior and Senior following the same format as its previous editions, which is a hybrid model in the British Parliamentary Debate format. The virtual rounds for Preliminaries and Pre- Quarters will be on 14th, 15th and 21st.

FNF 2023 will build skills through Initium, the virtual skill-building series which will be conducted by experts before the Preliminaries. Participants will receive vital advice on how to conduct themselves as well as making arguments in sessions. Expressing his views, the President of the University, Shri Sanjay Padode said, “I feel immensely proud of Vijaybhoomi to be the only university to organize such an international debate competition for the fourth time consecutively. We came up with this in 2020 and the competition has been growing every year. Looking at the responses for FNF in the last edition we were inspired to initiate it again. This is a great opportunity for the students as it builds awareness on liberal education and enhances their critical thinking skills. Every year we have participants from different countries and I feel this is a great chance for students to interact and upskill themselves. I hope that we continue to do this every year to provide more global exposure for our students.” Registrations are open till 12th October. To register: https://fnf.vijaybhoomi.edu.in/

Shri Sanjay Padode, President, Vijaybhoomi University  and  Dr. Atish Chattopadhyay, Vice-Chancellor, Vijaybhoomi University graced the occasion with their presence along with other dignitaries, senior faculty members, students & parents. The graduating batches included the students of BBA and MBA from Jagdish Sheth School of Management (JAGSOM) and B.Music (in Music Production and Hindustani Playback Vocals) from True School of Music (TSM). Sharing her experience, Shubha Mudgal said, It’s been several decades since I started performing music and it’s my honor to work with the finest musicians but when I introduce myself to somebody, people want to know about my Gurus more than awards and performances. And for me, that’s something I wanted to share with you because when you go out in the competitive world and say you are a graduate of Vijaybhoomi University, you will get a certain respect and standard that has been set by the University, which I hope you will always treasure and look after. As students of music, we are required to commit ourselves to a lifelong immersion in the subject that we are studying. I wish you all to remain a student all your life. Keep learning so that you can share more of your knowledge with others. There are so many schools in your university, each one of them coexisting harmoniously and peacefully and not threatening each other. Isn’t that what India is about diversity which really respects the others as well. I’m sure you will come up with wonderful ideas that will make you the leaders for this country and for this world. Addressing the graduates, Shri Sanjay Padode said, “I want to start off by saying a big congratulations to all the graduates and I am so proud of all of you to come this far by putting in all the efforts in your academic years. A special mention for Aswini Patro who has proven himself and excelled in every possible way to get the President’s medal. It’s lovely to witness such talent. Having said that, I would also like to remind all the students about our mission of being holistic, socially responsible and continuously employable professionals. Our guest of honor made a very important point about holistic build up which is physical fitness that even I am subscribed to in my life. I would urge every student to make that little investment and see how wonderfully your life will change. Then talking about social responsibility, I am sure most of you follow it.  Then comes the employability which I know most of you think is employment. It actually is the ability to add value to society at any point of time. As long as you can make yourself useful to society, I think you will always be employable. We all have this habit of asking a question which is “What am I going to get”. I think we should rather ask ourselves “What am I going to give”. As long as you are focused on that, you will be a continuous learner and never experience a failure.” The event also witnessed conferring of awards, where the meritorious and outstanding students were recognised for their hard work and significant contribution.
