There were many international issues as the Committees’ agendas. Two of the committees even had tedious midnight sessions. Honorable members of our society, who came in as different keynote speakers, addressed the young delegates. The First two evenings were made lively by the ‘Delegate Evening’ (a succession of rock band performances) and the ‘Fellowship'(social) respectively. The whole conference was a huge success as delegates from all round India attended it and were chaired by an international executive board known as Agnese Cigliano.
