INMUN is a student run simulation of the United Nations initiated by the Ryan Group of Institutions that started in 2001. INMUN is also India’s longest running Model United Nations Conference.

INMUN gives students an opportunity to play the role of diplomats who represent various UN member nations, addressing specific issues of current interest through debate and negotiation, and attempting to resolve regional and international problems.

1000+ participants from over 90 schools across Asia-Pacific over the past 17 years embraced the spirit of the UN charter and learnt the art of diplomacy, public-speaking, lobbying and crisis response.
