With fast paced crises proposed at regular intervals, the 250 delegates were required to think on their feet and propose feasible solutions. Heated discussions, logical debates and innovative solutions formed the core of the conference. Day 2 was announced as the cultural day by the convenors and saw delegates dressed in the official traditional attires of the countries they were representing. With this added touch of colour,
the discussions resumed with renewed vigour and continued till the end of the event after which various honours and recommendations were announced and certificates were handled along with other goodies like t-shirts.
Overall the event came through on everything it promised and much more. Going by the number of congratulatory messages received on the event’s page on FB for their huge success, this MUN has turned a lot of heads and made enthusiasts out of MUN regulars and amateurs alike from schools and colleges all over Delhi.
