LitSoc is an amalgamation of two disciplines – Literary and Debating. It is a club that comprises of individuals who have a passion for all things related to creative writing or debates. The members range from seasoned debaters to novices, magicians with words to interested writers. Everyone is welcome in this club.
The core activities carried out by the club come under two umbrellas: Literary activities and Debating activities. The primary form of debate in the club is Parliamentary Debate (Asian format). The other regular forms of debate are Model United Nations(MUN), Turncoat and Group Discussions. The literary events are primarily related to creative writing. The members encourage writing in different formats like blogs, poems, prose and technical articles.
LitSoc organizes several competitions for debating and creative writing. The Great Debate organized by The British Council and LitSoc is a British format debate which took place in October last year.
In the past, LitSoc has held National Level Parliamentary Debates in association with Alcheringa. We also help in the organizing and judging of several literary events in both Alcheringa and Techniche.
LitSoc also holds debates of varying formats in Manthan, the Inter-Hostel Cultural Championship. Last year, there was also an event in Manthan to write a Technical Article which would include references and sources as well.
Apart from this, the club meets every weekend to debate in order to improve their skills to prepare them for the outstation debates that they participate in. We have gone to prestigious colleges like NLS Bangalore in the past as well as several debates in Guwahati and Shillong.
The club also holds Mock MUNs to prepare participants for outstation and inhouse MUNs.
