LawFoyer’s Achievers’ Archive is proud to celebrate the remarkable accomplishment of Shivang Kumar, a dedicated B.A. LL.B student from the Central University of South Bihar, who has earned the prestigious title of Best Adjudicator at the Debating Premier League (DPL) 6.0. Organized by the School of Law and Governance, this event stands as one of the most dynamic intellectual platforms within the university, bringing together some of the most articulate and passionate debaters and adjudicators.
The Debating Premier League 6.0, held from 3 November to 6 November 2025, is the sixth edition of the university’s celebrated debating league. It is more than a competition, it is a training ground for confident speakers, critical thinkers, and future leaders. As highlighted in the official brochure of DPL 6.0, the Youth Parliament and Debating Society aims to foster analytical reasoning, persuasive communication, and meaningful discourse among students across various years of study. Shivang’s recognition as Best Adjudicator emerges from this competitive, inspiring, and intellectually stimulating environment.
For Shivang, this achievement is especially meaningful because it marks his very first experience of holding a major adjudicatory role. Stepping into the shoes of an adjudicator is never easy. It demands neutrality, sharp observation, clarity of thought, and the ability to evaluate arguments with fairness and depth. He describes the experience as both challenging and enriching, especially when faced with closely contested debates where both teams demonstrated strong reasoning and articulate delivery. The responsibility of making sound decisions in such scenarios taught him valuable lessons about articulation, structured thinking, and the importance of logical reasoning.
The Debating Premier League is widely known for its rigorous standards. Participants and adjudicators navigate diverse themes ranging from law and politics to culture, society, economics, and global affairs. The league follows parliamentary debate styles that require not only strong arguments but also strong evaluation skills from adjudicators. Emerging as the Best Adjudicator in such a setting reflects Shivang’s deep commitment to intellectual integrity, discipline, and impartiality.
The Debating Premier League 6.0 featured an impressive lineup of events, from speaker auctions to multiple rounds of intense debating, culminating in finals and the valedictory session. As documented in the official event materials, adjudicators play a central role in maintaining the quality and credibility of competitions. They serve as the backbone of a debate’s structure, ensuring fairness and nurturing an environment where discourse thrives.
Shivang’s achievement goes beyond a title. It represents growth, confidence, and leadership. It highlights his ability to think analytically, communicate clearly, and uphold fairness under pressure. Most importantly, it showcases his potential to contribute meaningfully to the debating culture both within and beyond his university.
His message to aspiring law students and debaters is simple yet powerful. He believes that the art of adjudication teaches one how to reason effectively and present thoughts with clarity. Even when two sides are equally strong, a good adjudicator learns to identify the deeper layers of logic and argumentation. He encourages peers to step out of their comfort zones, take initiative, and embrace opportunities that help them evolve into sharper thinkers and better communicators.
LawFoyer celebrates Shivang Kumar for this impressive milestone and recognizes him as an inspiration for young legal minds across the country. His achievement reflects the spirit of learning, perseverance, and excellence that we seek to uphold through our Achievers’ Archive initiative. We look forward to seeing Shivang continue his journey of growth and academic brilliance.
