Debate Competition-1st Aug

 Debate Competition on “Expressed Milk vs Nurtured Milk” – 1st August

As part of the World Breastfeeding Week observance, the Department of Home Science organized a thought-provoking debate competition on the topic:
“Expressed Milk vs Nurtured Milk – Which is Better?” on 1st August.

The debate aimed to encourage critical thinking and awareness among students about the evolving practices of infant feeding, especially in the context of modern lifestyles and working mothers.

Participants presented strong arguments on both sides:

• Team Expressed Milk highlighted its convenience, hygiene, and necessity in situations where direct breastfeeding is not possible.

• Team Nurtured Milk emphasized the emotional bonding, skin-to-skin contact, and psychological benefits of direct breastfeeding.

The event was judged by Dr. Jayalakshmi, Head, Department of Languages, who appreciated the depth of knowledge, clarity of expression, and confidence displayed by the participants. She also shared her valuable insights on the importance of effective communication and awareness in health-related topics.

The competition not only provided a platform for students to showcase their communication skills but also deepened their understanding of breastfeeding practices and challenges in today’s world.
