“The aim of art is not to represent the outward appearance of things, but their inward significance.”– Aristotle
Human expression is as diverse as the stars in the night sky—each one burning with its own light, its own story. From small gestures up to great pronouncements, our lives are driven by the will to demonstrate both who we belong to and who we are, because our desire to be noted and remembered is the source of everything we will become.
Esteemed delegates and respected faculty,
My name is Sanskriti Jain, and it is my privilege to serve as the Editor-in-Chief for the thirteenth edition of SMUN.
To me, Model UN has always been about communication. MUNs are not just about debates or resolutions; they’re about expressing your beliefs, defending your thoughts, and trying to find common ground through discrepancies. Every utterance, every sentence, every negotiation is a statement of who you are and what you hold dear as sacred. It reminds us that even in uncertainty, there is growth.
SMUN is not simply a means of acquiring or exercising knowledge or diplomatic skill; it is a forum for self-expression. It is a place where all voices can be heard, and all perspectives contribute to a diverse mosaic of thought. The outspoken learn the art of listening, while the quiet and reserved discover their voice. It’s where we get to learn about the world we surround ourselves with, as well as about our own potentially unlimited capacity.
As you step into this experience, I urge you to embrace it fully. Let your words carry your truth. And remember, it is not about being perfect—it is about being authentic.
Let this be your stage, and let your character shine.
​
Yours Sincerely
Sanskriti Jain
Editor-in-Chief

Greetings to all Delegates and Faculty Advisors.
​
It is with immense pride, keen sense of responsibility & enthusiasm that I, Devyani Pathania, introduce myself as the Editor-in-Chief for the 13th Edition of Sanskriti’s Model United Nations. As we embark on this journey of diplomacy, collaboration, and intellectual growth, it is my privilege to oversee the publications that will document, celebrate, and reflect upon the hard work and creativity of everyone involved.
​
SMUN is more than just an academic simulation of international diplomacy; it is a platform for young minds to challenge themselves, exchange diverse perspectives, and strive for innovative solutions to the various committee agendas. As Editor-in-Chief, I am committed to ensuring that the stories, ideas, and achievements of this conference are captured & shared with one and all with the due professionalism and passion they deserve.
​
Whether you seek perfection through the lens of a camera, express yourself through the stroke of a quill, or connect vivid colours with countless pages, while the method of expression may vary —the creativity & intent would remain to be of paramount importance.
​
Delegates, this conference is your forum to thrive. To express, question, click, and create. Over the three days of the conference, you have the platform & opportunity to contribute your unique voice and skill to this unfolding narrative.
​
I want to acknowledge that this journey will not be without its challenges. The work ahead will test your skills, push your limits, and demand perseverance. However, I assure you that the difficulties you face will only make your accomplishments more rewarding. You shall leave this three-day journey with an experience that is both personally enriching and professionally gainful.
As Editor-in-Chief, it is my honor to document this symphony, ensuring that its echoes reach far and wide. I look forward to working with you all.
​
Wishing you the very best!
Yours Sincerely,
Devyani Pathania
Editor-in-Chief
