Greetings,
One hundred and thirteen organising committee members alongside twenty five members of the Secretariat have worked tirelessly for the last six months towards curating the sixth edition of VIT Chennai Model United Nations 2020.
Considering the present state of the NCOV/ COVID-19 pandemic and its effects around the globe, and taking into account the health advisories of the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the Indian Government, we have determined that trying to hold a major national event would undermine, rather than support, the international efforts to contain this virus.
It is thus with a heavy heart that the Secretariat has taken the decision to indefinitely postpone the sixth edition of VITCMUN.
We share the the international community's sadness in response to this rapidly evolving situation.
On the outset, we would like to remind everyone to stay clean and hygienic and follow the advisories updated by the WHO and the Indian Ministry of Health. It is our shared responsibility to contain the spread of the virus and keep our communities safe. Further updates regarding refunds shall be communicated duly. We regret any inconvenience caused.
We thank everyone involved in the conference till now for your consideration and are grateful for your support.
Regards,
The Secretariat,
VITCMUN 2020.
