The participants, aged between 15 and 19 years, represent schools and colleges for what is one of the largest youth-led congregations. Commenting on the occasion, Rishabh Shah, Founder, IIMUN, said, “Leadership is not only about guiding the next generation, but also listening to it. At this critical juncture in India’s journey, we need this dialogue more than ever before. I am grateful to Mohan Bhagwat ji for accepting our invite to address this gathering at this critical juncture.”
Bhagwat’s address will mark the beginning of IIMUN’s flagship Annual Championship Conference, where students debate and deliberate on local, national and international issues.
