The NALSAR Intervarsity Debating Championship is the pioneer of the British Parliamentary Debating format in India. The idea for the NALSAR IV was born to introduce the British Parliamentary debate format to the national debating circuit and provide a preparatory ground for the WUDC (World Universities Debating Championship), the most prestigious debating championship in the world. Thus, the NALSAR IV is aimed at exposing debaters to the most competitive standards of adjudication. The NALSAR IV has now earned the name to be one of the most prestigious debating championships in India.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.hindu.com/edu/2011/04/11/stories/2011041150270100.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110530184428/http://www.hindu.com/edu/2011/04/11/stories/2011041150270100.htm |url-status=dead |archive-date=2011-05-30 |title=Education Plus : NLU Delhi wins Parliamentary debate |date=2011-04-11 |work=[[The Hindu]] |access-date=2013-10-24}}</ref>
