inaugurated today. Chief Guest, Justice Siddharth Verma, Judge, Allahabad High
Court, formally inaugurated the conference by lighting the lamp. In his address

not merely mean imparting textual knowledge. Events like the Model United
Nations broaden students' perspectives by providing them with knowledge of
current affairs, international relations and diplomacy. CMS Manager Prof. Geeta
Gandhi Kingdon, said that students' participation in the Model United Nations
assumes special importance this year in the wake of the upcoming UN Summit of
the Future that promises reforms in the UN Charter. Besides, it will make the
future generation aware of complex global issues and prepare them as future
policymakers. Guest of Honour, Ms Niti Jain, National Media Penalist, BJP, also
motivated the students.
