"When I decided to explore things beyond my high school curriculum, I was lost in a world which tried its best to not welcome me. Behes did not just train me in the specifics of public speaking but also helped me get the right resources to keep exploring my newly found world. From winning debates in places like Patna and Delhi to achieving new heights at Yale University, the lessons and the people stayed with me, always.""

The impact on students is visible as they develop critical thinking skills, exhibit confidence, and are able to articulate their thoughts persuasively. The students enjoy their classes and feel motivated and confident."

"Hey! I am Ankon Bhattacharya, an alumni of Indirapuram Public School, and have been lucky to be trained by Salil sir, in sharpening my debating skills. When I firstly entered the conference room of IPS, I was very confident of my debating skills. But, after the first debate, where I couldn't even continue for 1 minutes, I realised parliamentary debating is something I have to really learn.

Becoming an adjudicator after being a Behes debater feels like coming full circle. I remember sitting there, anxiously waiting to hear feedback after every round in various school debates, hoping I had done enough.
As a parent, I’m always on the lookout for ways to help my child grow, and Behes turned out to be something truly special. When I first heard about it, I thought it was just another extracurricular activity
Attending the Behes Boot Camp was honestly one of the best experiences of my life. I went in thinking it was just going to be about learning how to debate, but it turned out to be so much more.
