New Delhi:The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has once again clinched the prestigious Overall Best Team Rolling Trophy at the 29th Inter CAPF Debate Competition.

The event, organised by the Border Security Force (BSF) under the aegis of the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC), was held at Atal Akshaya Urja Bhawan, Lodhi Road in New Delhi recently.

This victory marks CISF’s 10th consecutive win, underscoring the force’s consistent excellence and intellectual prowess. The annual competition serves as a vital platform for Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) to showcase their understanding of human rights issues.

The team’s success can be attributed to their outstanding oratory skills, meticulous research and profound grasp of human rights topics, further honed by their training at the National Industrial Security   Academy (NISA).

The NHRC Debate Competition featured a distinguished jury comprising Jyotika Kalra, Former NHRC Member, as Chief Juror, alongside Prof. Dr. G.S. Bajpai, Vice-Chancellor of NLU Delhi and Dr. Ish Kumar, IPS, Former DG of Vigilance   and Enforcement.
