IIPM Cicero's Challenge

WAVES IN THE WAKE 'THE GENESIS AND A RETROSPECTIVE'

Why should a man born more than 2000 years ago seem relevant today? Is it because he still shines like a beacon across time for his passionate commitment to creativity, civil society, an insatiable quest for the truth and above all, for his pioneering ways and devoted dedication to self-expression. And is it also because IIPM as an institution has always sought to nurture and champion these very values in its students? Cicero's Challenge is IIPM's attempt to build a bridge between these ancient immortal values that history has been built on and the nurseries that nurture tomorrow – our schools.

Cicero's Challenge blew the bugle in 2006, and every year since has seen students from the world's best schools congregate and complete, not just to win the great Indian debate challenge but also to test their mettle in a host of other events that pushes them to mine their personalities for every diamond in their depths.

If every student who participates, leaves the Challenge with a newer and deeper understanding of one's potential, objectives, both IIPM's and Cicero's would have been met, and seeds of an undying legacy, nourished and sown... Amen!
