Country Profile

Country Profile is a document which gives an overview picture of the country which the delegation will represent during the conference. It gives information on its historical and constitutional growth, its emergence as a nation, system of governance, features of economy, the military set up, the cultural heritage, its geographical features and the foreign policy with specific reference to the United Nations. The profile should reflect excellent research work, systematic compilation and artistic presentation. It should not be a mere listing of facts, reproduction of downloaded data from internet sources or printouts of pictures. The delegation should strike a harmonious balance between written text matter, pictures and art work. The aim of doing this project should be to gain knowledge of the country being represented rather than just mere submission of the profile.
