Good afternoon!

Chairperson of this closing ceremony and Secretary-General of TESMUN 2021 Mr. Sarin Kandel, Honourable Chairperson of the School Madam Sheetal Rana, Honourable Managing Director of the school Mr. Ram Basnet, Respected Administrative Incharge Mr. Niraj Bikram Rana, Respected Principal Mr. Prashant Rajak, Icharges, Supervisors and revered teachers, members in the dais panel, delegates and other fellow members in different committees!

How wonderful it is to be addressing you all this afternoon as the chair of the WHO committee under the TESMUN. It looks surreal. It looks as if my friends have turned in to diplomats delivering in the high-level world forums. I am the chair of the committee. What would Tedros Adhanom feel if he saw me ruling in the committee! I wonder.

For a month, all of us had been preparing for the last two days. The last two days were the tip of an iceberg. What went submerged cannot be seen by outsiders. You can feel how much effort you have put into this show. You researched. You analyzed. You delivered. People saw you speaking. They say Wow! But they never saw you staying till the middle of the night searching for a single point that would have made a difference. They never saw your hours of pondering on some ideas that bugged you so much. They just saw you speaking flawlessly in front of the mass.

Definitely, what we did within the last two days was a make-believe scene. We all know we are still teenagers. Thus, we may forget what we said here in the committee! We may forget what other friends said in the committee today. However, you must not forget the essence of this show. You must not forget the skills you acquired within the last two days.

Turning back to the committee, I would like to remember the delegate of Argentina, Brazil, and Nigeria, the logical statements from the delegate of Italy, the research done by the delegate of the Netherlands, and the confidence of the delegate of the U.S.A. Taking seeds from the first practice session, many of you have grown trees filled with full of fruits by the final session.

We often meet with people. We may depart from them in course of the journey of life but we carry the experience we had with them. When I mirror my experience, I encountered the first MUN session as a delegate just two years ago. The confusion and chaos were all these. It was hard to make head and tail of the things. The ideas were too big. They look much larger than what I could bear. That was the challenge. As the practice sessions went on, I was getting a clearer picture. All the hard work I had done in my speech and research had turned into fruit.

The challenge of research was taken and done. However, I had to fight the fear within me. It is easy to fight against the enemy outside. However, it is very hard to defeat the devil hiding within. Anyway, I had to face it. I did. I defeated the devil. I feel good. That was what I have taken along with me from the MUN session.

I hope you have also changed yourself. The skills of public speaking, the skills of researching and probing into the issues, the skills of negotiation, and the skills of putting forth your ideas clearly, are the treasures you need to take with you.

I would like to thank the school management for organizing this event despite all odds. The efforts made to cater such valuable life skills to the budding mind must get applause. Even the pandemic, could not stop us from getting such skills. Thank you! I can’t but be thankful not only to the school management and my teachers but also to my colleagues in the dais panel and delegates in the committee for providing such a wonderful experience. Now we move to the award distributions.
