Welcome to our first-ever venture into the world of politics, diplomacy, and current affairs! Amongst so many Model United Nation Conferences happening all around the year, all through out the country, Ahlcon International School, presents yet another, state-of-the-art MUN for all school level MUNers. With a very diligent Organizing Committee and Secretariat, I hope you enjoy your experience just as much as we had organizing it for you. It all started with the conception of the idea by the founder Secretary general of AhlconMUN, Harsh Punjabi. With complete support from the Chief Convener/ Chef De Cabinet , Ms. Gunjan Tripathi and the Deputy Secretary General, Vidushi Sabharwal, and this would not have been possible without the kind support and encouragement from our respected Principal, Mr. Ashok K. Pandey. The organizing committee has been formed. A training workshop will be conducted on 27^th and 28^th of September for the students and an Intra-school conference will be held soon after. On the school goers MUN circuit, plans for an Interschool conference are on the floor.

Few Interesting Facts about Earth Day:

Earth Day was started by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson.
The first Earth Day was observed on April 22, 1970.
Although Earth Day was started by a senator, it was successful because it was a grassroots movement, not a political mandate.
April 22 was chosen as the date of the first Earth Day because it would not interfere with college students’ academic, social or religious obligations. It’s not during Spring Break or exam time, and it doesn’t conflict with any religious holidays. This was important because students were the main target of Senator Nelson’s “teach-in” campaign. Also, it was a Wednesday, the best part of the week to encourage a large turnout for the environmental rallies held across the country. "It worked out perfectly, because everybody was at work and they all left," Kathleen Rogers, President, Earth Day Network says
The awareness and excitement generated by the first Earth Day led to the development of the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Environmental Protection Act and the Endangered Species Act. It also inspired necessary changes to the Clean Air Act and the Clean Water Act.
The Earth Day Network is an international conglomeration that engages people in nearly 200 countries in community development and environmental activism activities.
Denis Hayes, a student in 1970, helped Senator Nelson organize the first Earth Day. Hayes founded the Earth Day Network, and continues to be its Chairperson. In 1970, he was enrolled at the Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, which he left after being selected by Senator Gaylord Nelson to organize the first Earth Day. Following the success of the first Earth Day, Hayes founded the Earth Day Network. Hayes continues to chair the board of the international Earth Day Network Denis Hayes has received the US national Jefferson Awards Medal for Outstanding Public Service as well as many other awards. Time Magazine named him as “Hero of the Planet” in 1999.
The first Earth Day (April 22, 1970) had participants and celebrants in two thousand colleges and universities, about ten thousand primary and secondary schools, and hundreds of communities. It is believed that some 20 million demonstrators participated.
Earth Day is now the world’s most widely observed secular holiday.
Many politicians linked to environmentally unfriendly industries were voted out of office in the 1970 midterm elections following the first Earth Day.
