JusManthan Vaadah- The wisdom fest features a national debate on a shaastric motion with the tagline “Anishiddham Anumatam” – the unopposed is agreed. Marking focuses on clarity, logic, reliable evidence, structured arguments, respectful rebuttals, and key issue engagement per the principles of civil shaastric discourse, where coherent reasoning harmonizes with wisdom.

Viṉāṭi viṉā stems from Telugu, a revered Dravidian Indic language. The name means “quiz” – an innovative, cross disciplinary way to showcase the text’s enduring wisdom.
