Model United Nation Conferences play a significant role in the learning process as they enable one to understand international politics through a process of research and debate.
Birla Vidya Niketan organised its fourth Model United Nations' Conference from 4th to 6th November 2016, where 6 students, namely, Chaitanya, Vini, Sirjan, Jatin, Mallika and Vidhi, of classes X and XI were selected to participate.
The inaugural ceremony was graced by His Excellency Earnest Rwamucyo, High Commissioner of the Republic of Rwanda. Mr. Ravi Chandran, Officer-in-Charge of the United Nations' Information Centre for India and Bhutan was also present on the occasion.
The conference witnessed intense debate and diplomacy by over 400 participants from Guwahati, Uttar Pradesh and Delhi-NCR in 8 committees. Some of the agendas included tackling militarisation of the Arctic, financial implications of Brexit and opium trade and trafficking. It was an exciting three days of stimulating discussion!
Mr. Chandran awarded the prize winners and spoke to the students about becoming responsible human beings and making this world a better place. He also pointed out how the personalities and thought processes of MUN participants undergo an undeniable transformation by the exposure at such events and how essential it is therefore, to encourage them.
