MODEL UNITED NATIONS
“Model United Nations (MUN) is an academic simulation of the United Nations, where students
assume the roles of delegates representing different countries to address real-world issues
using their assigned nation’s policies and perspectives. At MCGS, the MUN Club is committed to
nurturing essential skills in diplomacy, persuasion, communication, teamwork, and
problem-solving among students. Participation in the club involves staying informed about global
affairs and embracing diverse viewpoints. This fosters knowledge expansion, promotes a broader
mindset, and enhances confidence among students
Mayo College Girls’ School hosts one of India’s premier Model United Nations
Conferences annually, named MCGSMUN, which attracts participation from over 22 schools
nationwide. The inaugural edition of the conference took place in 2012, and since then, MCGS has
welcomed more than 2000 students from across the country. Members of the MCGSMUN Club also
benefit from various opportunities to attend and engage in conferences both nationally and
internationally, including prestigious platforms like Oxford. These experiences allow them to
apply their skills in practical contexts, interact with peers from diverse backgrounds, and
deepen their understanding of global diplomacy and collaboration.
The theme of this year’s conference (2024) was “तमसो मा ज्योतिर्गमय,” which
translates to “Lead from darkness to light.” Embracing this theme, we uphold our motto “Let
There Be Light,” emphasizing resilience and optimism in challenging circumstances.”
