Shree Radha, a Class 10 student from NIOS Sri Sankara School in Adyar, has won the runners-up silver medal at the Harvard University Debate Invitational in Jaipur. The three-day tournament, held over the Independence Day weekend, featured over 300 students and 80 teams from across India.
Shree and her teammates—Naisha Gupta, Abana Dhillon, Rabani Mehra, and Vedhika Babbar—earned a spot in the Indian contingent for the Harvard College Debate in Boston, USA, in April 2026. They will also have the opportunity to participate in the Shanghai World Schools Debating Championships (WSDC).

In a remarkable individual achievement, Shree Radha was named the fourth-best speaker out of more than 300 competitors. This distinction grants her a direct entry into Round 2 of the national selections for a spot on Team India at the WSDC.
