HPS Begumpet Students Shine at Prestigious IIMUN Belgium Conference 2025

In a remarkable international accomplishment, two bright students from The Hyderabad Public School, Begumpet—Suhrudi Dyavanapalli (Grade 12) and PDV Sahruda (Grade 9)—proudly represented their school and country at the India’s International Movement to Unite Nations (IIMUN) Conference held in Belgium from March 27 to April 2, 2025.

The prestigious conference brought together young changemakers from schools across India and Europe, including delegates from Belgium, Poland, and Germany, to deliberate on global issues and practice the art of diplomacy and debate.

A Grand Opening at the Heart of Europe

The IIMUN Conference commenced with a grand opening ceremony at the European Parliament Headquarters in Brussels, a venue symbolic of unity and collaboration. The atmosphere was charged with purpose and promise as dignitaries like Krišjānis Kariņš (former Prime Minister of Latvia), Ms. Hamisha Ahooja (Indian-Canadian filmmaker), and Mr. Bhaskar Bhushan (senior diplomat and education advocate) addressed the young delegates, encouraging them to become the voice of change in a rapidly evolving world.

Diplomacy in Action

Following the opening, committee sessions were hosted at the International School of Belgium, where students engaged in in-depth discussions on international issues. They honed essential skills such as public speaking, negotiation, resolution drafting, and collaborative problem-solving, all within the structured environment of the United Nations simulation.

Among the many accolades presented, PDV Sahruda stood out, receiving the High Commendation Award, a prestigious honor that recognizes both intellect and leadership in committee proceedings. Her ability to articulate perspectives and propose actionable resolutions earned her acclaim from peers and mentors alike.

A Cultural Journey Beyond the Conference

The IIMUN experience extended beyond debate rooms. As part of a carefully curated cultural immersion program, the students explored iconic landmarks such as the Atomium, the stunning city of Antwerp, the medieval charm of Ghent, and even the historic remnants of the Berlin Wall—each stop offering insights into Europe’s rich cultural and political heritage.

A Proud Moment for HPS Begumpet

Participation in such a globally significant event reflects the emphasis HPS Begumpet places on global exposure, leadership, and holistic education. The school continues to foster opportunities that allow its students to thrive on international platforms, preparing them to lead with empathy, awareness, and a global outlook.

Congratulations to Suhrudi Dyavanapalli and PDV Sahruda on this inspiring achievement. Your efforts have not only brought pride to your school but also serve as a beacon of inspiration for fellow students.
