They understood the foreign policies of the participating countries. Delegates raised their placards to raise the motions and moderated caucus. Many students from GIIS Indore were first timers but made their presence felt to the Chair and Vice Chair.

Day 3: The final day for the conference started with discussions on working papers, resolutions, etc. Delegates representing various countries looked intense like real politicians discussing every possible aspect of the problem. Debates turned serious, and so did their learning. This taught them to come on consensus even with personal differences and opinions. As the day moved towards the closing ceremony of IIMUN, each participant was awarded with a certificate of participation. Abhijit Solanki from grade 8 of GIIS Indore got special verbal mention in the unconventional committee as his presentation and debating reasons were liked by many.

In its attempt to groom the future leaders of the world, IIMUN in its journey to every nook and cranny of this world will take its third visit at the Commercial Capital of Madhya Pradesh, Indore. In its previous two visits to the city, IIMUN has not only conducted its largest Chapter Conference here, but has also fallen in love with the beautiful architectural structures of the Rajwada Palace and the street of flavours, Sarafa Bazar. This conference was an attempt to only strengthen further the bond IIMUN shares with this city and to provide students of every school in Indore a memorable experience and teachings in diplomacy.
