ECOSOC
Description
The United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) is one of the six main organs of the United Nations, tasked with promoting international cooperation and advancing global economic and social progress. ECOSOC serves as a central platform for addressing global challenges related to sustainable development, poverty reduction, health, education, gender equality, and human rights. It facilitates coordination among 54 member states, along with specialized UN agencies, international organizations, and civil society, to formulate policies and initiatives that contribute to social and economic well-being. ECOSOC convenes annual high-level meetings to review progress, share best practices, and adopt resolutions on key global issues.
Agenda
Addressing economic instability in commodity-dependent states with relevance to recent geopolitical tensions
Executive Board
Anarghya Prakash
Meet Anarghya Prakash, who delegates with a passionate anti-West policy, and chairs with a passionate gavel-hurling belief. Having a fiery interest in debate and global economics, Anarghya has spent the last year making a name for herself in the ECOSOC scene. She’ll be the Chair giving the hard-reality feedback, and general glare from her eyes.
Shruthi
Shruti is an aspiring journalist with a deep love towards sociology, is naturally curious and is drawn to understanding people and ideas. Eleven years of classical dance have been a grounding force in her life, shaping her discipline and presence. An artist at heart, she believes creativity and perspective can shift even the simplest conversations and hopes delegates aren’t afraid to think differently and dig a little deeper than the surface. When she has absolutely nothing to do, she’s usually lost in story fictions, watching a new show or replaying songs by Arijit Singh and listening to soft classical instrumentals before suddenly switching to high-energy dance tracks— it really just depends on the mood! Creative, expressive and quietly competitive, she’s excited to serve as the Vice-chair for the ECOSOC this year, ready to learn, grow and make this committee truly memorable.
Ranganath Tawker K
Meet Ranganath Tawker, an experienced delegate who has secured an award in every single one of his 20+ conferences. Having served as the former Head Delegate of PS Senior, Tawker is best known for a high impact lobby strategy that provides him a distinct advantage in committee rooms. He excels in a variety of forums but maintains a primary focus on ECOSOC.
Adity Agarwal
With awards across multiple conferences, Adity is thrilled to step into her role as vice chair. Apart from MUN, she spends her time on Formula 1 and new music. She looks forward to an exciting committee and promises delegates a rewarding experience.
