Within the realm of competitive debates, CIA stands as a prestigious tournament, with CU FBDA continually aiming to surpass its prior accomplishments with each new season. The inauguration of CIA-4.0 in 2020 marked a groundbreaking moment for Chittagong University, as it hosted its first-ever international debate competition.
