In Celebration of Women's Day: Lokvidhan 2025 was dedicated to the cause of women’s rights, not just through symbolic gestures but through practical, action-oriented discussions. On the occasion of Women’s Day, the event emphasized the importance of moving beyond words and candle marches. By simulating legal proceedings at the student level, Lokvidhan aimed to raise awareness about the necessity for genuine action and empowerment, ensuring that future leaders are well-versed in the mechanisms of lawmaking and advocacy. Inclusive Participation & Accessibility: What made Lokvidhan 2025 truly remarkable was its effort to broaden access to the MUN experience.

The event provided awards for the top seven rank holders, reflecting its commitment to making the platform more inclusive and educational. Acknowledgments: The organizing committee was led by the esteemed Head of the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences, Prof. (Dr.) Prabha Lama, along with faculty convenors Dr. Bharti Sharma, Dr. Gaurav Dimri, Dr. Rajkumar Singh and Mrs. Ankita Jakhmola. The success of Lokvidhan 2025 underlined the dedication of its organizers to promote legal literacy, civic engagement, and social awareness among the youth.
