About AIPPM
“India shaped my mind, anchored my identity, influenced my beliefs, and made me who I am. India matters to me and I would like to matter to India.”
― Shashi Tharoor
The All India Political Parties’ Meet was created as a body supplementary to the Parliament, without any legislative provisions for a specific purpose in order to serve as a forum for unrestricted political debate which the constraints of the Parliament do not at all times allow. AIPPM in SVISG MUN is a stage where delegates are given a chance to showcase the politician that lies within them.
The flexible rules of procedure further facilitate debate and make the committee interesting enough for everyone present at the conference wishing to catch a glimpse. This committee is not a UN committee. It is being replicated to provide a centre juncture to the rampant issues in India. It is crucial for a nation to listen to its strongest demographic community, the youth. This council echoes our hopes of change and evolution. The AIPPM, unlike other conventional MUN committees is characterised by heated debates, cross talks, walkout protest and high levels of negotiations and political democracy.
Agenda
Agenda: Reviewing the Foreign policy of India with special reference to its Neighbours
India's foreign relations reflect a traditional policy of nonalignment, the exigencies of domestic economic reform and development. Until a decade ago, India was regarded largely as a poor developing country with low visibility on the global political and economic front. A multitude of factors, most prominently its emerging global economic strength, have led India not only to redefine its self-image but also to adopt a new political role both internationally and within its immediate neighbourhood.
It is argued that India’s attempts at development cooperation in the neighbourhood and encouraging bilateral trade are driven, not just by economic concerns, but by a sharp realisation that its political capital in the neighbourhood is fast dwindling. India's foreign policy has always regarded the concept of neighbourhood as one of widening concentric circles, around a central axis of historical and cultural commonalities.
