Welcome Delegates!
It is our honor to welcome you to GSMUN XVIII and the Lok Sabha. This weekend you will be discussing two hot topics: terrorism in India and India’s economy, and the decisions you make will shape India’s future for decades to come. We are looking forward to passionate and knowledgeable debate, and we are excited to hear your innovative ideas to help solve two of the biggest issues in a modern India. We hope you are as ready as we are!
Sharvani Mehta is a senior at Maggie Walker and is thrilled to chair Lok Sabha this year at GSMUN XVIII. She has been a member of Model UN since her freshman year, and in the past has attended several Model UN conferences and served as a mock delegate and chair for GSMUN conferences. Outside of Model UN, Sharvani is the Editor in Chief of the school newspaper, the Jabberwock, and sings with Maggie Walker's a capella group, Deadbeats. In her free time, she enjoys listening to music, dancing, and holding movie marathons.
Harish Tekriwal is a sophomore at Maggie Walker and is ecstatic that his first chairing experiencing will be to chair Lok Sabha this year at GSMUN XVIII. He has been a member of Model UN since 8th grade at Moody Middle School, and in the past has attended several Model UN conferences, including GSMUN XVI in 2013. At last year’s GSMUN, Harish served as a crisis staffer for the JCC: American Revolution. Outside of Model UN, Harish plays tennis for MW, rows crew for River City Crew, and volunteers at Ten Thousand Villages and MCV. In his free time, he enjoys listening to music, spending time outdoors, and hanging out with friends.
As members of Lok Sabha, you have an obligation to come prepared to this committee after having done extensive research. Please make sure to read the background guide for a solid preliminary base of knowledge on our topics. Your position papers should be at least 500 words, double-spaced, in 12-point Times New Roman font, with Chicago-style footnotes and a bibliography, and should include some background research, your representative’s position on the issue at hand, and one or two solutions to it. This is to be emailed to the dais before the conference or turned in physically at the first committee session. Without a position paper you cannot be considered for awards. Please keep in mind that GSMUN follows Maggie Walker’s Honor Code and plagiarism will result in disqualification from the conference. We expect nothing but the best from each and every one of you. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions or concerns. Good luck delegates, and we look forward to seeing you all in March!
