Three-day Prestige Models United Nations Conference 2024 begins
Indore (Team Newsbuddy) : Models United Nations is the best way to understand the activities of the United Nations. India’s opinion is now given due importance on any issue in the United Nations, said Indore Mayor Pushyamitra Bhargava while addressing the inaugural ceremony of the three-day Prestige Model United Nations organized by Prestige Institute of Management and Research here on Friday.
Bhargav said there are many programmes to understand the UN, but the Kashmir issue is the most important to understand the United Nations. Describing the abrogation of Article 370 from Kashmir as a significant event, he said that the biggest change that came after its abrogation was the freedom to hoist the tricolor anywhere in Kashmir, which could not have been imagined before 2019.
Entrepreneur and social worker Abhishek Bardia said that arms, pharma and oil are the three important factors behind any incident happening in the world. Referring to the many wars and incidents taking place in the world, he said it is not what is happening that is important but why it is happening.
Social worker Mala Singh Thakur said that India not only talks about `Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam’ but also practices it. While every country considers other countries as business, India considers every country as a family, she said, asking students to work towards achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals as set by the United Nations. Senior advocate Pankaj Wadhavani also expressed his views on this occasion.
PIMR Director Dr. Col. S Raman Iyer said that all delegates in the United Nations come together on one platform for a purpose. He asked the students to read and watch changing political activities across India and the world and try to understand the reason behind every incident.
Prestige Models United Nations Conference 2024 has been divided into 5 departments, vis-a-vas: International Press, UNCSW, Lok Sabha, SOCHIUM, and DISEC, in which more than 200 students from all major schools of Indore are taking part.
