5th edition of Muller Model United Nations inaugurated at Father Muller Medical College

Mangaluru: The opening ceremony of the 5th edition of Muller Model United Nations was held on 31 August 2018, in the Decennial Memorial Hall, Knowledge Centre.

MMUN is a unique feature of the Mullerian Family. The spotlight news of the violation of human rights, which we read in newspapers, will be discussed on this platform. Cases of human trafficking are highly alarming. As future doctors, the need for addressing such issues is exceedingly important. Further, he ended his keynote by saying ‘We are bestowed with wisdom. We need to utilize this astuteness, at the right moment, for the right activity and on the right occasion’.

Chairperson, Tanya Mohan Raj said Muller Model United Nations is a platform where social issues are brought to the knowledge of the students and discussed. These sessions will also help the students in building up oratory as well as public speaking skills.


Of the two-day programme, day1 will highlight violations in the Gaza strip and day2 will include discussion on the status of workers and evaluation of the existing labour rights. These discussions will enable the delegates to research on the topic and to form an opinion that is based on the country provided. It is how they can convince the committee that what their country thinks is right, is indeed true.
