The chief guest of closing ceremony was Mr Rajeev Gowda, former Director on the Central Board of the Reserve Bank of India. “When you master the world of research and learn to formulate your opinions, you can start practicing sharing your views and insights“, said Mr Gowda in his address. “Over the years you will develop into articulate analysts of what’s happening in the world around us“, he added.
“I am so proud to see how our students worked hard to transition Junior MUN successfully to OAK MUN this year,” said Principal Kavita Sukhani, appreciating the student leaders. “It’s also fulfilling for us to see many delegates starting their MUN career with Oakridge Model United Nations,” she added.
