IIM Ranchi's Gender Champion organizes Terra Nullius in association with Literary Club

On 4th March, the Gender Champion of the Institute for the year 2015-17, Ms Sheniga K, introduced herself with the first Gender-Champion event of the year - Terra Nullius, a debate competition - in association with the Literary Club (minus Apoorv Ashutosh, since he wanted to participate!)

We had seven contestants sharing their thoughts on the topic "Women are still underpaid, undervalued and under-utilized" from differing perspectives. They were evaluated by our honourable judge, Dr. Prof. Shilpee Dasgupta, professor for Business Communication at IIM Ranchi.
