The Drucker’s Club of the Department of Business Administration, J.J. College of
Arts and Science (Autonomous), Sivapuram, Pudukkottai organized a debate on what
has been achieved and what is yet to be achieved after 75 years of freedom. The final
year students of MBA and BBA were the participants. Prof.J.A.Arul Chellakumar,
Former Professor and Director, CCCD, Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalliwas the
mediator. Each team consisted of seven members.

The speakers presented their
arguments cogently and with rhetorical force. There were weighty arguments put
forward by both sides – one focusing on achievements and the other on what is to be
done in the future. The group leaders S.Syed Abuthahir andN.B.Mehavarshini
consolidated the arguments of their respective sides. The mediator summed up the
arguments and pointed out that our performance has been a success story but we have
miles to go still in ensuring inclusive growth, preventing the brain drain and in ensuring
optimum usage of our natural and human resources. Coping with international standards
on environmental issues like warming , carbon levels and welfare metrics is also a major
issue that should be prioritized.

The programme was part of the celebrations of the 75th anniversary of our
independence. It was a morale –booster to the students who were happy with the chance
to make a speech on a national issue. Dr.V.Sathyarekha, Head of the Department
presided over the session.
