My speech at the Bhilwara Model United Nations 2018

Delegates, Faculty Advisors, and Distinguished Guests Welcome to the first edition of Bhilwara Model United Nation s, the very first conference in the entire Rajasthan to have associated with the United Nations Organisation for the promotion of Sustainable Development Goals.  This is Vaibhav Jain, and it is my distinct pleasure to serve as the Secretary-General for the Bhilwara Model United Nations, the year 2018.  This day is what we have been dreading about and are geared up to.
