The Bhawanipur Education Society College became a buzzing centre of diplomacy and debate on January 6 and 7, 2025, when the Collective Assembly of Nations (AON) hosted its Intra Model United Nations (MUN). Three committees were in action, and there was palpable excitement in the atmosphere, akin to a thrilling game of chess where every move counts: the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA), Lok Sabha, and the International Press (IP).
The UNGA, assisted by the wise Arjun Chakraborty and the sarky Hreed Gupta, took cognizance of the apt agenda of “Threats to International Peace and Security.” Meanwhile, Lok Sabha, animatedly chaired by Daivam Nishant and Abhishek Shaw, tackled the rather convoluted problem of “Deliberating upon the Bangladeshi crisis with a special focus on India’s presence in the subcontinent.” The IP, headed by its Editor-in-Chief Sofia Parveen and Photography Head Arindam Roy Chowdhury, was assigned, in all senses, the phrase “Covering the Conference” and pounced on every opportunity to document heated exchanges.
As the venue for the Lok Sabha debates was Jubilee Hall, the UNGA events unfolded in Society Hall. Delegates passionately defended their stances amidst an ambience that looked like gladiators in an arena—with only, instead of swords, facts and fervour for their weapons. The air crackled with tension as the delegation articulated the position of their nations on international crises. Without a doubt, this was diplomacy on par with any sporting competition for excitement.
As the debates continued, UNGA declared Finland’s delegate as best in committee and awarded him the Merit of Diplomacy, a well-deserved and needed diplomatic experience over the intricate issues at hand. Md Haneefa of Lok Sabha was declared the Best Delegate with an apt understanding of parliamentary procedure and persuasive rhetoric by heart.
Meanwhile, the IP had not forgotten its reporters, either. It handsomely rewarded them by awarding the best reporter trophy to the Statesman’s journalist. BSanika Shaw received the best accolades as a photographer for capturing moments from behind her lens.
The debates were not without their lighter moments. Delegates occasionally broke into laughter over witty remarks or unexpected points on the floor. All this added to a sense of camaraderie prevailing among participants. Who said diplomacy couldn’t have a dash of humour!
As day 2 came to an end and alliances were made, it became apparent that this MUN was not a simulation but rather a microcosm of global politics. Delegates left not only with awards but also invaluable insights into the intricacies of international relations.
In retrospect, the Assembly of Nations’ Intra-MUN at The Bhawanipur Education Society College was a resounding success—a testament to the power of dialogue and understanding in addressing global issues. As we reflect on these two days filled with spirited debates and enlightening discussions, one must ponder: if these young minds can navigate complex geopolitical landscapes today, what will they achieve tomorrow?
In conclusion, let’s remember that diplomacy is not just about conflict resolution; it’s about building bridges and perhaps even planting seeds for future gardens of peace. Here’s to hoping that our delegates will tend these seeds long after they leave the halls of academia!
