Letter of Appreciation

Global Confluence Model United Nation of Prabhavati Padamshi Soni International Junior College provides a rare opportunity for young minds to learn about global politics and policies in a dynamic world to achieve the national interests.
​
The broad foreign policy framework whether bilateral, regional or multilateral is deeply rooted in the art of constructive engagement over aggression, diplomatic outreach on the issues of global dimensions and enhancing coordination in a wide array of areas. GCMUN is contributing immensely in sharpening the young minds in foreign policy priorities and challenges with a clear objective to enable them in learning contemporary realities of global governance and global trade practices. GCMUN is offering a robust and multifaceted engagement platform on which youth seek to build a more modern global perception, new confidence to redefine the role of United Nations committees in the wake of post cold war alignments. Today's youth dream ofa world free from strife, a world without war and suitable functioning as well as the efficacy of international cooperation. GCMUN through enlightening discussion is trying to project decision-making mechanisms to pursue strategic objectives.
​
Under the dynamic leadership of Divith Chowdhary, the 8th Edition of GCMUN (2024-25) of PPSIJC is shaping the young minds to tackle issues emanating from rapidly changing geopolitical landscape and visible shift in political, economic and cultural ties across the world. It is my hope that the GCMUN, Mumbai Chapter will continue to ignite young and thinking minds with common commitment of Vasudhaiv Kutumbkam.
S Jaishankar's "Vishwa Mitra"
In a recent speech, our External Affairs Minister, Dr. S. Jaishankar described his vision for India as 'Vishwa Mitra' which in Sanskrit means ‘A friend to the world’. Dr. Jaishankar sees India as a friend of the world, a voice for the traditionally backward Global South, a country that connects the world together as one family. He further encourages the youngsters of our great nation to think big in this newfound world of endless possibilities and chase after their seemingly herculean and ambitious goals in full fury. In his eyes, being well-versed in current affairs from around the world is an undeniable asset to youngsters.
To aid that vision, we at GCMUN enable participants to empathise with pressing global issues and develop the ability to think big; bigger than themselves. Through diverse committees, with issues from around the globe, our inquisitive learners today, and dynamic leaders of tomorrow can develop a deeper understanding of the issues that plague our world, and carry forward Dr. S. Jaishankar’s ideal of India as 'Vishwa Mitra'.

Message from Secretary General
Diti Chaproo
I, Diti Chhaproo, am immensely elated to be the Secretary General of one of the most prestigious MUNs in the Mumbai MUN circuit. GCMUN’s ever-growing family continues to carry the torch and uphold its honour as we yearn to enhance every aspect of our event, to bring the best version of our conference for you. A wise man once said ‘It is the details that create the big picture’ and for us here at PPSIJC, we are leaving no stone unturned to simulate a UN environment for endeavouring diplomats and impressionable youngsters to network, learn and grow in.
This year’s tagline- ‘Ceasing War: through dialogue, not destruction’ has been crafted to promote diplomacy and echo peace through our conflict year. 2024 displays elections in over sixty countries, brutality through war, inflation, and economic instability, a harsh reality that all of today’s students will step into soon. Here at GCMUN, we are fervently dedicated to enticing our delegates to learn about current affairs and influencing them to find rational solutions that bring us a step closer to the UN’s international cooperation vision. As delegates pen down speeches and rebuttals extempore and make allies to create resolutions, the MUN becomes a didactic experience that sharpens their analytical skills and makes them a more confident orator; something I have witnessed over my time at GCMUN- as I progressed from a delegate to organising and leading this event.
As we see leaders like S. Jaishankar and President Draupadi Murmu paving the way for young Indians to fearlessly voice any injustice and present our culture and heritage gracefully to the world, it is rudimentary to emulate how articulate and resilient they are in high-pressure situations. We hope to see our delegates passionately stand for their allotted countries, embody the influential diplomats we see in news articles, and benefit endlessly years past this conference from what they absorb in 48 hours. I am sure that with an outstanding executive board, enriching resources, and stellar reputation, our 8th edition will be a trailblazer and instill an ambition in our delegates to heal war’s wounds, cease regression through collaborative efforts, and bring our agenda’s effort to fruition, one pivotal resolution at a time
Message from Principal

At USGS and PPSJC, we have always preached that, life is not about finding yourself, it is about creating yourself. Therefore, students and delegates all around, huddle up with curiosity in your minds and a competitive spirit in your hearts, because, I, Mrs. Rakhi Mukherjee, the Principal of Utpal Shanghvi Global School and Prabhavati Padamshi Soni International Junior College, present to you with pride, the 8th edition of our prestigious institution’s very own, annual event, GCMUN 2024.
Our Global Confluence Model UN is the event to attend if you wish to create your personality as a delegate nation, debating with empathy yet diplomacy, to combat several global issues that divide our world today. Here, we encourage you to discover your personalities as the youth of today but the future of tomorrow, helping you create yourself as an individual in our world.
The GCMUN’s primary purpose is to discuss and resolve contentious world issues, and this year we aim to do the same. I’m sure no one is unaware of the state of turmoil the world has been in this year. Therefore, in this year’s conference, we aim to focus on the recent political chaos through the medium of various committees designed to tackle specific global issues.
Over the years, GCMUN has not been spared of its own hurdles and obstacles, but with immense pleasure I can say we have powered through them with great brevity, and we could not be more grateful to you, dear delegates, to always keep our team motivated and optimistic. The legacy of this event holds its ground strong and true, and we are certainly here to stay, leaving our mark.
At GCMUN, we encourage young minds to pave the way for global change in any way suitable to their abilities, this event shapes students to broaden their horizons and help them view the world through a larger, more informed perspective; in order to make progress by leaps and bounds, and be a confident individual truly making a difference in our world.
We open our doors for delegates from far and wide, to join us in this revolutionary change for the better for everyone because, after all, peace begins with you!
