The HPSMUN-2020, an inter-school debating competition, spanning across two days, consisting five committees, namely UNHRC, UNESC, UNSC, WHO and AIPPM (All India Political Party Meet), was organised. Each committee witnessed huge participation of students. This year, 118 delegates from more than 25 schools of India and overseas, participated in the championship, which is organised by members of the school alumni Ankit Gupta and Eva Ahlawat. The event was formally launched on June 10 and marked by a keynote address by Dr Nisha Peshin, Director, Academics and Public Schools, DAVCAE, New Delhi. Speakers, representing approximately 85 nations, put forward their arguments vehemently. They reflected not only mastery of facts and issues but also the ability to put them together in a coherent and convincing manner. At the end of the conference, delegates received ‘Best Delegation’, ‘High Commendation’ and ‘Verbal Mention’ awards from each committee. Principal Jaya Bhardwaj congratulated the winners. Applauding the efforts put in by the participants, she said, “HPSMUN is a very apt platform to help students develop confidence and leadership skills through experience.
