The conference focused on diplomacy, international cooperation, the principles of the United Nations Charter and the Sustainable Development Goals. Delegates from diverse cultural, national and academic backgrounds participated in intensive committee sessions, presenting country positions, negotiating resolutions and addressing complex global challenges through diplomatic engagement.

Amaan Lone, a B.Tech. Data Science student from the School of Computer Science, Class of 2028, was honoured with the Most Outstanding Delegate Award for his exceptional performance throughout the conference.
Competing alongside participants from more than 25 nationalities, both students demonstrated outstanding research capabilities, persuasive public speaking, diplomatic negotiation, confident presentations and critical thinking under pressure. Throughout the proceedings, they articulated the positions of their assigned countries with clarity, responded effectively to challenging questions and presented evidence-based arguments rooted in the principles of the United Nations. Their constructive engagement with delegates from different cultural backgrounds reflected the collaborative spirit of Model United Nations and the importance of international cooperation in addressing global issues.
Sharing his experience, Sahil Rana said that winning the Best Delegate Award among participants from more than 25 nationalities was an immensely proud moment. He said the conference reinforced the importance of thorough preparation and understanding perspectives different from one's own, while expressing gratitude to Galgotias University for encouraging learning beyond the classroom and providing the confidence to represent India on an international platform.
