Secretary
General's Report - DAIMUN 2006
By Aditya Jhaveri |
400 student participants,
the largest MUN conference in South Asia and
an extremely high quality of resolution processing
and debate - these are simply the things that
summarize a common delegate's experience at
DAIMUN 2006.
DAIMUN, having applied for The Hague International
Model United Nations' affiliation this year,
had switched (the first and only conference
in India to do so) to the European THIMUN
procedure. We had Mr. Remco van der Zwaag
come over to attend our conference, as a representative
of THIMUN, to consider our application for
a THIMUN affiliation. He was extremely happy
at the quality of debate, organization of
the conference, quality of student officers
and delegates.
As Secretary General, I was extremely pleased
to see DAIMUN meet other international MUN
conferences in all respects. We had a very
high quality of resolutions passed, following
vigorous and rich debate. We introduced a
plenary for the first time in India and were
amazed at the overwhelming response. Among
other things, I had the great opportunity
of moderating a Panel Discussion between the
delegates and two members of parliament, Milind
Deora and Jitin Prasada. It proved to be a
fantastic experience, thoroughly enjoyed by
all. The other speeches by guest speakers
were also met by enthusiastic questions from
the audience.
The Student Officer team, MUN Director Mrs.
Sen and all other teachers involved with DAIMUN
were extremely proud when Mr Remco van der
Zwaag published in his report and then announced
to us the following words "I am very
happy to propose to the Board of Directors
that DAIMUN be granted the status of THIMUN
affiliated conference."
I wish the team of DAIMUN 2007 beats the benchmarks
set by the Officer Team of DAIMUN 2006, by
their innovations while preserving the glory
and culture of DAIMUN 2006. I hope that the
next secretariat moves towards making DAIMUN
bigger, because in the words of Dhirubhai
Ambani "Growth has no limit" and
"If you can dream it, you can do it".
