Message from Teacher In ChargeWith immense pleasure I invite everyone for the special virtual edition of the DAV Sreshtha MUN.

COVID19 has brought the entire world to a standstill but could not dampen the spirit of DAV Public School, Sreshtha

Vihar. The school has successfully had the beginning of the new session with all scholastic activities for students from

Pre-School to grade XII. If the school is handling the scholastic activities in a normal manner, the co-scholastic cannot

be far behind even in this extra-ordinary circumstance.

Here we are inviting you to our latest edition of the Model United Nations which will be a virtual one. A new

experience to all stakeholders, the DAV Sreshtha Virtual MUN will be the right platform to learn to collaborate and

enhance critical thinking and communication. In the virtual set-up these 21st century skills will be tested along with

Indian National Congress, 1931 (Karachi Session) In 1931, the Congressmet at Karachi and approved the Gandhi-Irwin Pact. The most significantcontribution of the Karachi session was a resolution it passed on FundamentalRights and Economic Policy. It was later known as Karachi Resolution. TheKarachi session was presided by then INC President Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel.The Session was conducted in the shadow of three major events. First, MahatmaGandhi had just been released from prison following his Salt Satyagraha.Second, the Gandhi-Irwin pact had just been concluded which had brought thecivil disobedience movement to an end and third, the British government had, aweek before the session, executed Bhagat Singh and two of his associates inconnection with the Kakori Conspiracy case. The DAV Sreshtha VirtualConference would encourage the delegates to go through the books of historyand look into this significant matter of interest of our constitution makers.
