The seniors represented an environmental campaign agency and had filed a case of willful pollution of the environment against an organization represented by the juniors. In this round both the teams gave valid points in defence of their cases.

The second round was a debate on aEnvironmentalism- the latest fada. The juniors supported the motion while the seniors opposed it. The third round was the question answer round where each team had to ask relevant questions to the other and the other team had to answer in a similar vein. The fourth round was the audience round where the audience asked questions to the teams.

The last round saw the judges questioning the teams. Mr. Srimoy Kar, the chief guest asked whether development being opposed in the name of preserving the environment was a fad or not.
