Eight different teams representing eight different schools of Lucknow participated in the competition. La Martiniere College, Lucknow won the tournament and bagged prize money of Rs. 3000, while the runners-up City Montessori School, Aliganj were awarded Rs. 2400. Semi-finalists, Jaipuria Seth M.R. Jaipuria School and Montford Inter College were also awarded a sum of Rs 1800 each.
The competition followed the Asian Parliamentary Debate format which was new to participants since most school children are used to conventional one-on-one debating format. However, the participants put up a decent show and at times stunned spectators. The finalists have also been provided slots for participation in the next edition of RMLPD, RML’s flagship inter-college debating tournament.
