JBCN Chembur MUN 2026

Letter from the
Co-Secretary General

Dear Delegates,

I am Kevin Trivedi, your Co-Secretary-General for the inaugural edition of JBCN Chembur Middle School MUN. It is with great honour, responsibility, and purpose that I welcome you to this conference.

My MUN journey began in grade four, and over the years, I have attended numerous conferences that have shaped how I approach leadership, strategy, and diplomacy. These experiences taught me that success in negotiation, debate, and policymaking is not about speaking the loudest or acting impulsively, but about preparation, precision, and execution. This principle is reflected in my athletic pursuits. As a middle-distance runner competing in demanding events such as the 400 and 800 metres, I have learned that measured effort, sustained focus, and discipline are far more important than bursts of immediate energy. The endurance required on the track carries directly into the committee room, where every motion, every speech, and every decision can have significant impact.

Beyond MUN and athletics, I have participated in several academic competitions, including the World Scholar’s Cup at Yale University, where I earned multiple accolades in challenging international settings. These experiences reinforced a simple truth: excellence is built through preparation, adaptability, and consistency. The combination of intellectual rigor and strategic planning equips delegates to navigate complex global issues with clarity and confidence.

History has always inspired me, particularly the Roman Empire. Its strength did not lie solely in conquest but in structure, law, and unwavering duty. Roman governance placed order, responsibility, and service to the state above individual ambition, principles that continue to guide effective leadership and diplomacy today. In committee, authority is not claimed by the loudest voice but earned through consistency, strategic judgment, and respect for procedure.

The most effective delegates in this conference will combine analytical thinking with composure, foresight, and strategy. MUN challenges you to defend positions that may differ from your personal views, make decisions under pressure, and balance multiple priorities with discipline. In doing so, you develop skills that extend far beyond the conference room, including negotiation, diplomacy, critical thinking, and leadership.

Whether this is your first MUN experience or your fiftieth, I urge you to approach this conference with preparation, intent, and seriousness. Success is measured not only by awards or resolutions passed but by the clarity, strategy, and discipline you bring to every part of the committee. Engage fully with your peers, challenge assumptions, and remember the responsibility that comes with representing a position. Every speech, every negotiation, and every directive is an opportunity to act with thoughtfulness, decisiveness, and purpose.

I look forward to a conference defined by rigorous debate, clear policy, and creative solutions. Let this platform serve as a space for growth, measured decision-making, and meaningful engagement with global issues. The challenges in this conference will test your abilities, forge alliances, and stretch your strategic thinking. Approach them with focus and dedication, and you will leave this conference equipped not only as a delegate but as a confident and thoughtful leader.

Acta, non verba. “Deeds, not words.”

Kevin Trivedi
