<h1>Student-run nonprofit offers regional-language debate training to 1,000+ government school children, boosting confidence and critical thinking</h1> A student-run nonprofit launched in 2023 provides structured debate training in the regional language to children in under-resourced government schools, conducting over 90 sessions for more than 1,000 students to date. The program's curriculum ties debate topics to school subjects and local issues to build critical thinking, public speaking, and confidence among students traditionally excluded from English-dominated extracurriculars. Run by a small core team, the initiative aims to expand district coverage and mentor recruitment.
