Public Debates

One of the ways to achieve our aim is by way of monthly public discussions on various issues pertaining to governance. Any kind of social or political problem concerning people in India is taken up during our debates. People from different spheres of society regardless of gender, age and community can participate in discussion which they find contentious within Indian legal and political systems and can present their ideas on how to effectively to solve them. RFGI maintains a high standard debate structure through which strong arguments are created and shared. We feel proud to say that our events are attended by highly distinguished judges, politicians, academicians, intellectuals and most importantly, dynamic youngsters, who share their valuable opinions on law and mechanism of powers in India. Together with these esteemed individuals and vigilant citizens, RFGI helps in improving the quality of democracy in our country.
