Participated in the JEMUN conference as a delegate of India. It was the
first time for me to work on one project with foreigners and other
university students. The theme of this year was "Healthy not Hungry".
My room's topic was "Closing the Gender Gap in Agriculture to Fight Hunger". To discuss
about the topic deeper, we subdivided this problem into 5 sections: (A). Closing the gap in
Access to Land, (B). Closing the gap in Labor Markets, (C). Closing the Financial
Service gap,(D). Closing the gap in Social Capital Through Women’s groups and
(E). Closing the Technology Gap.
Before I began to work as a delegate of India, I researched about the Indian government, people, development, economy, military and relationship between other countries. By researching India, I found some problems of India.
Four main problems that affect India

2.Health: Cardiovascular disease, cancer and chronic respriatory conditions.
3.Water scarcity: 21% of communicable diseases in India are related to unsafe water.
4.Gender: gender gap(money),violence , discrimination.
