RCNV’s another flagship project MUNA for State Board schools was conducted successfully on 23rd January 2022 under the guidance of our august members Director Youth Rtn. Amit Chandak, Joint Secretary Rtn. Ritika Singhvi and PP Sohrab Kanga. The event was held online on zoom platform this year also due to the endemic that we all are facing. Though it was an online event but the enthusiasm of the participating students was overwhelming. Approximately 300 students from 12 state board schools of Nagpur participated in this event.
MUN or MUNA has always been the prerogative for CBSE school students but here through RCNV MUNA we provide the same platform to the state board students to benefit and learn more about the world and world affairs. Through this platform the students represent a country as it’s delegates which helps them to think and enhance more knowledge about the country. These delegates are provided a committee for example WHO (World Health Organization) and an agenda is provided for example – Equitable Vaccine Distribution – now these delegates discuss and debate on this agenda for 3 to 4 sessions and then a motion is made to pass the final resolution. Normally the Model United Nations Assembly is conducted in 2 full days but as we had to shift the event online we concluded it in a day. This year we had 6 committees and they were as follows- 1] United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) and the agenda was Promoting the responsible disposal of electronic and hazardous waste. 2] United Nations Security Council (UNSC) and the agenda was Addressing the proliferation of armed militias in destabilized countries. 3] Commission on Status of women (CSW) and the agenda was Combating violence against women migrant workers. 4] Disarmament and International Security Committee (DISEC) and the agenda was The role of private military and security companies (PMSCs) in armed conflict. 5] United Nations Educational Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the agenda was Addressing gender disparities and promoting gender equality in education. 6] World Health Organization (WHO) and the agenda was Equitable vaccine distribution. We also provide them the option to choose their preferable language which makes it easier for them to converse and understand each other better. We had one separate committee for Marathi this year.
