About Delhi MUN — Model United Nations organisation, New Delhi, India
The room where it matters.
Delhi MUN is a Model United Nations conference born in New Delhi — built not to add another credential to a circuit already crowded with them, but to change how young people in India engage with global politics, diplomacy, and each other.
Delhi MUN was founded by a team that collectively spent close to a decade on India's most competitive MUN circuits — Harvard MUN India, Yale MUN India, school-level state championships, and national conference series across Delhi, Punjab, Chandigarh, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. Not as spectators, but as delegates, chairs, secretariat members, and conference directors.
That experience produced a specific conviction: that most MUN conferences are optimised for optics, not outcomes. That too many delegates leave without having learnt to think more clearly, argue more honestly, or care more deeply about the world they are inheriting. Delhi MUN exists to change that — one committee room at a time.
We are the inaugural MUN conference in New Delhi built explicitly around delegate development. Every structural decision — from how agendas are written to how awards are decided — is made with a single question in mind: does this make the delegate better?
Every rule, schedule, and agenda item is built around the delegate experience — not optics, not appearances. Transparent award criteria. Schedule pacing that doesn't punish outstation delegates. A secretariat that is reachable and accountable. At Delhi MUN, the delegate is the product.
First-timer or circuit veteran — committees are crafted to challenge and welcome in equal, intentional measure. Beginners find structured onboarding and accessible guides. Veterans find agendas with no easy answers.
Committees debate live geopolitical crises, climate policy, and international humanitarian law — not synthetic scenarios. Every committee is backed by a comprehensive background guide published weeks in advance. The research is real. The debate should be too.
Delhi MUN 2026 is the founding edition — and founding delegates are permanent. Their names enter the inaugural archive, the founding edition record, and the identity of a conference still being built. New Delhi's MUN circuit is being written. This is the first line.
Delhi MUN's vision is rooted in a simple conviction: that the best thing New Delhi can produce is not another credential, but a delegate who has learnt to listen before speaking, argue with evidence rather than volume, and care about a crisis they did not cause. We are building the inaugural generation of that delegate — one committee room at a time.
As the inaugural MUN conference in New Delhi built around delegate development — not prestige optics — Delhi MUN is committed to five operating principles:
Empower delegates at every level with the confidence to voice perspectives and defend positions with evidence and reason, not volume.
Educate through rigorous, openly published background guides on real-world institutions — so delegates arrive researched, not reliant on last-minute cramming.
Inspire a generation of young Indians to carry the habits of diplomatic thinking into civic life long after the gavel comes down.
Connect students from schools across Delhi — and delegates from cities across India — through the kind of network only an inaugural edition can forge.
Innovate the MUN format with committees that reflect 2026's actual geopolitical landscape and debate structures that reward research and listening in equal measure.
Agendas are drawn from live global crises — not fabricated scenarios. Every committee is supported by a comprehensive background guide, published free and in full before the conference opens. Delegates do not arrive to improvise. They arrive to debate.
Delhi MUN's Executive Board is drawn from delegates who have chaired, won, and organised at India's top MUN circuits. Their brief is to coach, not just adjudicate — to make every delegate a sharper speaker, a more rigorous writer, and a more fearless thinker.
Delhi MUN's inaugural batch is a closed club — one that grows with every edition but starts with you. Beyond the committee room, you join a dynamic, fast-growing community of young leaders, debaters, and thinkers who stay connected long after the gavel falls.
Founding delegates are recognised in the Delhi MUN Inaugural Archive — a permanent record of the delegates, schools, and committees that defined Edition 01. In five years, you will be the answer to the question everyone asks: who was there at the start?
