School Parliament
The ANSH Parliament was established in the Academic Year 2012 to provide a platform for our students to develop leadership abilities and also to promote a sense of ownership and service among the student body. The Parliamentarians are elected through a universal ballot system wherein each member of the ANSH Parivar gets one vote. Students who get the majority of the votes are elected for the posts of Ministers and Presidents.

By stepping into the roles of world leaders, students represent different nations, address global challenges, and propose innovative solutions. This experience enhances their critical thinking, diplomacy, and problem-solving skills while deepening their awareness of international affairs.

Through I.M.U.N., students embrace this global perspective, fostering empathy, unity, and a shared responsibility for a better world.
