About DAIMUN
CONFER. CHALLENGE. CONQUER. REALITY IS YOURS...

Dhirubhai Ambani International Model United Nations, or DAIMUN, is a student-run conference that aims to simulate the workings of the real United Nations. It brings together students from all over India and abroad, who take on the roles of ambassadors representing various nations in the world. DAIMUN is based on the fundamental ideas of diplomacy, equality and self- expression. It is these ideals, carried forth by the enthusiasm and vigour of youth, which serve to form the base for our Model United Nations. It is an intricately woven tapestry of global issues, ethics and ideals. According to the United Nations Charter, The United Nations is “a centre for harmonising the actions of nations”. DAIMUN strives to uphold this same standard of excellence and to thus continue this noble intention. A truly committed delegate will always leave the conference with a further enhanced sense of confidence, a greater comprehension of our world as an integral whole and sharpened debating skills.

Since 2006, DAIMUN has been a proud affiliate of The Hague International Model United Nations (THIMUN), which is the largest and oldest MUN Conference in the world and holds a consultative status as an NGO in the real UN. DAIMUN has the honour of being the first conference in the Indian subcontinent to have been bestowed with this prestigious affiliation. The structure closely resembles that of THIMUN, and the conference is managed and chaired wholly by members of the student body.

For three and a half days, these students will debate, write resolutions and negotiate pressing global issues in an attempt to resolve them. DAIMUN reflects the superlative quality of debate that we hope to continue at this year’s conference, as its members include former delegates of THIMUN, HMUN and THIMUN Singapore and as chairs of THIMUN itself. Not only does DAIMUN bring together students; during the opening ceremony at DAIMUN, the panel discussion also features real world diplomats who engage in active discussion and debate with the students.
