THE UNTRODDED PATH
When the delegates knew how to do, but never knew when or what to do



After three days of mind-boggling sessions, the Executive Board was rather a tad bit disheartened, as they were not seeing sensible analysis and critical thinking. So, to throw light on this, the vice chair himself, Srijan Chakraborty vounteered to give an ellaboarately carved demonstration. After taking Rohini Godbole’s portfolio, he took to going at the back of the committee. Delegates wittnessed how he raised his placard to get a chance to voice his ideas and were awestruck at his debating manners. He began paving the way by stating that in Universities, a bountiful number of students have to just shift themselves from colleges to coaching instituites, and sit there for hours together, burning their freetime and the midnight oil to pass an entrance exam; if they do not, it is simply over for them. 

After this amount of over-loading pressure, it is brought to light that only 7 percent of the engineers, “produced” by many prestigious instituitions, are eligible for employment. What about the other 93 percent? Well, the contribute to India’s 31 million unemployed. He also aptly mentioned that there is no criterion for sorting in universities, and quality of students is not implied, with that high amount of fees they have to cough out. 

After the speech he made, there were, as expected, queries from Mr. Javadekar. Being the concerned Human Resources Development Minister, he asked how Godbole’s idealistic points would be implied in the country, and how he would there not be any protest put forward by people? Godbole replied, “It is not about legality, it is all about morality”. Also, he asked for the exam paper pattern to change, so that instituitions would not teach their students in accordance with the same. 

Past this, the chair asked Suchita De, why instituitions conduct entrance exams. She replied, saying that they want to filter the best. To this, Javadekar gave his much-needed comment that there is a huge population of students, and they want to check eligibility. That is when Anil Sahasrabudhe mentioned that they needed to improve extra-currcular and vocational courses. Lastly, when asked why students will not protest on such a change, Tanveer Sait aptly replied, “if this is happening for the betterment of the students, and they would not protest for this.” 

At the end of the day, there have to gather solutions. Everyone hopes that Srijan inscribed the right path, for the others to follow.

(editorial 2)                        Pros about keeping a gun August 30, 2018                     - by Shreya LN and Yamini R V Mohite First of all, in Qatar, possession of a firearm without a licence is punishable by a jail sentence of up to fourteen years. In committee, the pros and cons of civilians owning guns was being spoken about and the delegate of Afghanistan had quite a lot to say. In Afghanistan, firearms are provided to the civilians, or bought by the civilians with a license. The delegate of Afghanistan strongly stated that ‘most’ of the citizens use these guns for self-defence. It is very much possible that the civilians themselves may become non state actors by the influence of these firearms. But, this would not really happen if the background of the person the firearm or the licence for the firearm is being sold to is first checked and only then the licen...

United States; Divided Thoughts

It is a widely acknowledged fact that the United States conducts itself in a hypocritical manner, and contradicts itself repeatedly in international forums. The Disarmament and International Security Council proved to be no different, and the press conference revealed the double standards the government has for its citizens. The United States has conducted itself in an entirely unfit manner, but somehow, it remains unsurprising. When asked informally, the delegate of the US said that she would refuse to answer any questions in the press conference, so it came as a surprise when she spoke on gun control regulations within the US. The delegate stated that the American government believes that the ownership of guns gives its citizens much needed peace of mind, and protection. When a member of the press quoted the horrifying statistics of gun violence in only 2018 within the US- Total number of incidents being 38,451; number of deaths being 9,650; number of children below the age of ...
