Indian International MUN


IIMUN:

After having participated in, led and judged over 80 conferences a young 18 year old boy had a

vision. A vision of a system wherein the youth are allowed to voice their ideas, opinions

suggestions and beliefs through a responsible and recognized medium. He searched all over for

the existence of such a system, but to no avail. Thus his relentless desire and undying passion

coupled with his enterprising and resourceful nature for the embodiment of such a system led to

the inception of the INDIAN INTERNATIONAL MODEL UNITED NATIONS.

As patent from last year’s Lok Sabha elections, there has never been greater zeal and

commitment amongst today’s youth to take active part in the social and geopolitical issues that

are rampant across the world today and thereby shape the country’s future.

Here, IIMUN creates this required system that acts as a pedestal to launch the interests of

today’s youth.

IIMUN, founded and presided over by Rishabh Shah, is an organization of the youth, by the youth

and for the youth. Managed and run by a bunch of students from the age group of 16-24 years,

the IIMUN Mumbai Conference went on to become India’s Largest Youth Conference in 2012,

Asia’s Largest Youth Conference in 2013 and World’s Largest Residential MUN Conference in

2014.

Today IIMUN’s massive repertoire of achievements boasts of:

a) IIMUN procedure accepted in 237 institutes b) Simulations of IIMUN in African International Model UN and Bangladesh International Model UN. c) IIMUN is Asia’s First MUNning procedure d) Affiliations with the University of Pennsylvania and IMT Nagpur to help them with organizing

their MUNs e) 30 chapters across all parts of India.


IIMUN: The Journey

2012: The India’s Largest Youth Conference

IIMUN 2012 began with a bang. Mr. Shiamak Dawar was the Curtain Raiser for the opening

ceremony. A mesmerizing contemporary dance performance by Mr. Dawar’s troupes followed

the curtain raising ceremony, where at the end of the performance the dancers organized

themselves into such a structure so as to form the IIMUN logo. The Chief Guests for our

ceremony was the celebrated Bollywood director Mr. Subhash Ghai & Mr. Prithviraj Chavvan.

Our third Chief Guest was Mr. Pradeep Udhas, who gave a liberating speech on youth

empowerment and international relations of India with foreign countries.

“I saw this young 12 year old

boy speaking with an amazing

amount of confidence and conviction in front of an audience of 40 to 50 18-year olds. The way he spoke reflected the kind of intricate research he had done. This spectacle left my mouth agape”, says Saisha Shrivastava chair of Interpol, IIMUN 2012.

IIMUN does comply with the aphorism “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. Testimony to this fact being the Delegate Ball that saw a cornucopia of gyrating hips, slow romantic dances and some swanky moves, and the Comedy Night where Vir Das’ humor and histrionics caused delegates to almost split their sides laughing.


2013: Mega Conference, Asia’s Largest Youth Conference

2013 conference had Chief Guests such as, Mr. Rakyesh Omprakash Mehra, Vir Das and Kishore

Biyani in the opening ceremony. “The level of inquisitiveness in this new batch of youngsters is

inspiring. It brings me to the realization that there is yet so much for me to explore and learn,”

says Rakeysh Mehra. “IIMUN 2013 should be used as a case study in management schools for

MBA students”, says Mrs. Chakravarti, principal of Lé Martinere Boys School. “These kids are wonder kids.” Kishore Biyani.


With our Curtain Raiser, Mr. Aditya Thackeray, Head of the Yuva Sena, and our comperes for the evening, Cyrus Broacha and Suresh Menon.

This pair left no stone unturned in entertaining the audience with their wit and humorous

gimmicks. Lesley Lewis and his band electrified the audience with their rock and roll so much so

that after his performance there was only one word on everyone’s lips-‘ ENCORE!!’


Mr. Aftab Shivdasani was a speaker on the second day of the conference. He inspired us

with his childhood tale of the kind of struggle he went through to become what he is

today.

Ms. Alia Bhatt endorsed our event with her video and said some gracious words about IIMUN. Rajeev Chandran, the Minister for Public Information at the United Nations

Information Centre of India and Bhutan was also a speaker on the 2nd

day of the

conference.

We had Ms. Lina Asher, head of Billabong chain of schools as a speaker on the 3rd

day of

the conference. She spoke about time management, the lives of different greats like Aristotle, Socrates, and Einstein etc and about the NGO that she is heading.

“The thought of a bunch of 19- year-olds pulling off a conference of this stature is

indigestible. And they haven’t even graduated yet. Hats off to these young

entrepreneurs,” says Mrs. Sharonee Mullick, Head of Singapore International School.

IIMUN Chapters

The purpose of organizing Chapters is to increase awareness amongst students about

International Relations, Geo-political scenario and teach them more about the United Nations.

Over the past year, IIMUN embarked on a journey to spread the message of the UN to 12 cities

across the country. Committees were simulated in local languages, Hindi and with different

variations as to ensure that we reached to as many as people possible. IIMUN is proud to have

reached a cumulative participation of over 15,000 students in these chapters.
