Representing the collective voice of citizens, it plays a pivotal role in shaping national policy, enacting laws, controlling public finances, and holding the executive accountable.

Agenda: Assessing the Impact of Higher Professional Educational Policies Across All States with a Focus on Potential Reforms

The agenda calls for a comprehensive review of how existing frameworks shape India’s professional education landscape. Despite expansion in medical, engineering, law, and management institutions, disparities in quality, access, and affordability persist across states. Differences in regulatory capacity, faculty availability, and infrastructural investment continue to affect student outcomes. The committee must evaluate how policies such as the National Education Policy (NEP), accreditation norms, reservation policies, and fee regulations translate into on-ground realities. Strengthening industry-academia collaboration, promoting research ecosystems, and reducing regional inequities remain central to meaningful reform. As India prepares for a rapidly evolving global knowledge economy, the committee seeks innovative, uniform, and inclusive policy interventions to ensure that professional education becomes equitable, future-ready, and capable of producing skilled, ethical, and socially conscious professionals.

Agenda: Ensuring Maritime Security and Freedom of Navigation in the South China Sea amid Rising Territorial Disputes.

The South China Sea is a critical maritime region, serving as one of the world’s busiest trade routes and a persistent hotspot for escalating geopolitical tensions.

The committee will critically assess recent incidents, deliberate on measures to uphold the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS), and explore diplomatic pathways to curb the increasing pace of militarization in contested waters. Delegates are expected to go beyond condemnations and propose actionable, comprehensive frameworks focused on de-escalation, sustained dialogue, and sustainable maritime security for the benefit of the entire international community.

The application of the death penalty remains a complex and polarizing issue, raising serious concerns regarding due process, the finality of irreversible errors and compliance with the prohibition of cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment. Furthermore, issues of disproportionate application based on race, socioeconomic status, or political affiliation undermine the integrity of justice systems globally.

The committee will undertake a comprehensive examination of the judicial processes surrounding capital punishment, focusing on standards of fair trial, access to legal counsel, and judicial transparency. Delegates are called upon to review arguments for and against the use of the death penalty, and propose frameworks for legal reform, strengthening oversight mechanisms, promoting moratoriums, and ensuring that all criminal justice practices strictly adhere to international human rights standards and treaties.
