The Debate Club, Chennai, is an organization founded in 2010. Its main motive is to promote radical thinking and intellectualism among the youth. It is a student-run initiative aimed at cultivating the ability to challenge every issue that may arise, thereby creating unbiased thinkers in our nation. The Debate Club, Chennai, celebrates the freedom of speech by providing a stage for school students to innovate, instigate and kindle ideas. Through the organization, the students 
are given opportunities to take part in several debates providing innumerable opportunities to learn more. It was founded eleven years ago by a few adroit students from B.V. Bhavan's Rajaji Vidyashram, with an avant-garde idea; to revive the dying culture of debating in our country through a novel competition, known as The Bait. With the success of the first-ever pioneering event, year after year came about the fabrication of two complementary events - The Changemakers' Conference and The Summer Debating Madness. The former was a competition that empowered students with ideas that could bring about a massive change in our society, while the latter is an international online debating contest,
open to all ages, thus providing participants a taste of virtual debating.
