On the 14th of May, the second day of the conference, the delegates first interacted with one another in a
lobbying session to understand each other’s stance and formulate blocs followed by which they moved
into formal debate sessions in their respective councils. Some of the topics that were discussed at this
conference included “Reforms of the United Nations”, “Introduction of Crypt currency as a legal tender”,
“Learning’s from Arthashastra to solve the Kashmir dispute” & “The Lanka War” to name a few. Post the
committee sessions, the delegates indulged in a Socials evening where they danced and sang to the beats
of Bollywood music presented by DJ Meet. A bigger highlight of this evening was the Midnight Crisis
Committee session which took place for 3 hours where the skill sets of a certain set of students from
across all the committees were put to test and they were given a hypothetical scenario to resolve.
On the 15th of May, the third and the final day, the delegates started their morning at sunrise with a
recuperative session of Yoga conducted by Anastasiia Pavlova, an international yoga teacher who has
hosted various yoga tours in India and abroad. Following this energizing session, the delegates were
divided into their respective committee rooms where they took over the reins of many fruitful
deliberations. With yet another day of brainstorming new ideas, the committees finally voted upon the
introduced declarations and successfully wrapped up their countless days of hard work. The delegates
formally ended the discussions after receiving feedback from the Presiding officers as well as from their
fellow delegates. The Concourse concluded with the winners of the Committees being announced in the
Auditorium as the joyous praises of the audience cheered them on in the closing ceremony of the
conference.
The entire three-day Concourse was a jarring event that saw the participation of Young India who
interchanged ideas, thoughts and expressions, thereby enhancing each other culturally as well as
politically. All in all, the Flagship Conference 4.0 was a true representation of the Organizations’ beliefs
and was an epitome in commemorating a Decade of I.I.M.U.N.
