On 6th March 2025, Joshua Joseph Johnson and Aman Rao took part in Eloquencia, an inter-collegiate debate competition held at St. Claret College, Autonomous (SCC), Bengaluru. Competing against teams from several colleges, they earned the Runner-Up position with their strong arguments and confident speaking.

The event was a great learning experience. The audience was full of energy, and the judges gave useful feedback that helped participants grow. The debate covered interesting and challenging topics like:

Overall, it was a memorable event that strengthened their love for public speaking and meaningful discussions.
