The VIBGYOR Group of Schools’ acclaimed initiative VIBGYOR MUN is a simulation of the United Nations. VIBGYOR MUN offers young students a unique platform to Debate, Deliberate, Discuss, and Resolve international relations-related issues based on the actual policies of the nations they represent.

Our Journey
VIBGYOR Model United Nations (VIBGYOR MUN) started in 2011, and today is in its 14th glorious chapter, hosted by the VIBGYOR Group of Schools. In addition to promoting peace, collaboration, and diplomacy, VIBGYOR MUN aims to educate participants about global concerns and foster understanding of the UN. At the VIBGYOR Group of Schools, we fervently believe that youth hold the key to the future. They need to be encouraged to come up with achievable, sustainable solutions to an array of pressing concerns. VIBGYOR MUN has developed into a unique platform for students to express their views over time. VIBGYOR MUN has established itself as the largest school-led MUN in the country, with over 5000 Alumni, 1000 National and International Delegates, and over 100 Faculty Advisors, Principals, and Academicians that have been part of the journey so far.
