A glance over India’s journey in the last decade, shows how India has gradually developed and changed, not just in terms of population or economy, but also on the political front.

Indian governance observed an evident change. It was not because our so called democratically elected representatives realized their duties, but because people started understanding politics. They became cognizant of their rights and responsibilities. It was no longer easy to manipulate the once gullible common man.

The best example would be the recent Delhi elections. A one year old Aam Aadhmi Party that selected its contestants from the common people made a phenomenal debut, routing political giants. This made it very clear that change in political scenario is imminent. On the same lines even the student community has started nurturing a vision which doesn’t accept tainted politics or politicians.

We, the Indian Society for Technical Education (ISTE) Student Chapter of GITAM University, have thought of bringing an opportunity to this burgeoning student fraternity to bring their ideas to the table. We believe that students across the Indian panorama are fraught with fresh perspective and lots of cached energy which when given a direction can unfold new vistas in future.

We are organizing a national event GITAM Model United Nations (GITAM MUN) in collaboration with United Nations Information Center for India and Bhutan on 23rd and 24th December 2013. “GITAM MUN” is an academic simulation of the United Nations that aims to educate participants about current events, topics in international relations, diplomacy and the United Nations agenda. It’s a platform which would bring together students from different colleges to deliberate on diplomatic issues and come up with ideas which are not only innovative but practical solutions. They get to taste the experience of being a “real diplomat”. This event gives students an opportunity to develop the perspicacity to become a good diplomat. The student delegates would be awarded “Best Position Paper, Best Delegate and Outstanding Delegate”.
