Reaching the airport was an adventure in itself, as the delegates braved the Maratha protestors. It all proved to be worthwhile in the end. The delegates engaged in three days of stimulating debate, discussion and diplomacy. This year's CMUN offered a plethora of committees each having an equally challenging agenda. The delegates discussed the issues at hand with a global perspective and came up with practical solutions. Delegates had to think on their feet, as they tackled crises one after the other. Our delegates had to face tough competition as they competed with delegates from prestigious schools across the globe. The CMUN had truly raised the bar for excellence in debating. The delegates came back, motivated and inspired with a conviction that they too could bring about a change in the world!
