Mumbai: Gopi Birla Memorial School (GBMS)
powered by Birla Edutech and Indian International Model United Nations (IIMUN)
as the knowledge partner, had organized a city level Model United Nations on
the 13th and 14th of July at GBMS.This event saw 500
students from various schools across the country participate in the third
edition MUN organized by GBMS alumni and hosted by Birla Edutech.
A Model United Nations, also known
as Model UN or MUN, is an educational simulation
or activity in which participants or
delegates in conferences are placed in committees such as the WHO, ILO, UNSC,
ECOSOC etc. These delegates are made to represent various UN signatory
countries and address dire subjects that conflict our world such as Cyber War, improving working conditions of
South-Asian Countries, Human Trafficking, Uniform Civil Code to name a few.
Students gain a better understanding of
the inner workings of the UN while also providing a forum to hone skills in
diplomacy, negotiation, critical thinking, compromise, public speaking,
writing, and research. This motivates young students to think like world
leaders which instill a sense of obligation and responsibility as a global
citizen.
Expressing his views Mr. Nirvaan Birla – Head of Business
Development, said, “We are now in the era of contemporary education that
treats holistic development as a cornerstone of education. Platforms like GBMUN
equip students with skills that bring about the most in them. The emotional and
intellectual capabilities are nurtured along with understanding of the social
concerns and the utilization of creative potential to formulate solutions for those
issues.
Dr. Veena Shrivastava – Principal, Gopi Birla Memorial School said, “As the students role play
global leaders and debate on wide range of agendas following ROP, the complete
process helps in confidence building and strengthens public speaking ability. It
is overwhelming to see the uprising talent and gives me immense pleasure to be
a part of GBMUN that provides the students with the opportunity to research and
develop skills required for the 21st century.”
The Chief Guest of the closing ceremony of GBMUN – Mr. Soami Saran expressed his delight by saying, "It was
exciting to witness passionate, dedicated and intelligent young minds at work
at GBMUN. The students here are the leaders of tomorrow and it is
intriguing to see the ideas they have, to solve the problems faced by our
world. The issues were thoroughly well researched and the solutions offered

hold the potential to solve a lot of the issues of the world that they will
inherit. It was an immense pleasure for me to felicitate our future
