The West Zone selections for the Indian National Debating Squad were organised by ARC at DPS Bopal. It was an intense and grueling three-day selection process including matter sessions, multiple rounds of debates, and feedback given to the students. They were holistically judged on their performance throughout the camp, and 4 students were chosen to proceed to the national camp. Manya Gupta from Jaipur and Aarushi Wadiwala from Surat, who were mentored by ARC, held their own in the national selections and made it to the national squad.
