I.I.M.U.N. (India's International Movement to Unite Nations)[1] is a youth organisation which simulates the workings of Indian Parliament and multilateral organisations. It engages students in debates about international relations, current affairs and world politics. It comprises 26,000 young organisers who put together student conferences in 220 cities and 35 countries; over 7,500 schools and 10 million students take part annually.[2][3][4][5][6][7] The aim of the organisation is for Indian students between 13 and 19 to become global citizens with an Indian mindset.[8][9][10]

History

I.I.M.U.N. was founded in 2011 by Rishabh S. Shah, with its first conference being held from 2–5 August 2012 at the Mumbai World Trade Centre.[11]

Conferences

I.I.M.U.N. held a conference inside the United Nations headquarters in New York City in August 2016, and it has since become annual.[12][13][14][5][15] It conducted the world's largest Model UN conference in Mumbai, with 7,500 students participating in it.[16][17][18]

Students at the conferences learn about yoga and Indian practices in the mornings, followed by debating issues, after which speakers come and engage with them.[19][20] The conferences are held in cities in India ranging from Srinagar[21] to Kanyakumari[22] and Port Blair[23] to Kohima,[24] and in countries ranging from Japan to Uruguay, Poland to South Africa.[25][26]

Every August, the organisation puts together a yearly finale event, the I.I.M.U.N. Championship Conference, which has taken place in Aamby Valley City, Taj Mahal Palace Hotel and the World Trade Centre. Winning students from across the country and globe participate in this event.[27][28][29]

Issues discussed

A central topic discussed at all conferences has been Security Council reform; the proposal for India to have a permanent seat on the council is a topic lobbied for by the Indian government in the real United Nations.[1][30] Other issues that are discussed range from debating the 26/11 terror attacks, ISIS, environmental issues, human rights concerns, and economic topics such as demonetisation.[11][31][32] The organisation also simulates councils based on Indian history and polity.

Initiatives

Find a Bed,[33][34] an initiative during the COVID-19 pandemic, tackled the problem of finding COVID beds for mildly symptomatic and asymptomatic patients in India.[35][36][37][38] Popular celebrities from Karan Johar,[39] Gauri Khan, Kriti Sanon, Kartik Aryan,[40] Sania Mirza, Shashi Tharoor amongst others supported the cause. However, the initiative also came under criticism for some of the pictures of ambassadors not being "proper".[41]
