It has been a platform for these bright, young minds to come together in the spirit of diplomacy and multi-culturalism to discuss solutions to the most pressing issues currently affecting our world. VIBGYORMUN 9 was a grand event indeed. The dedication, determination and conscientiousness of the Organising Team is praiseworthy. Their silent yet relentless efforts have contributed in a large measure to make VIBGYORMUN 9 a force to contend with. I extend my heartiest congratulations to all for making it a magnificent success.

The presence of an overwhelmingly large number of delegates speaks volumes for the respect and popularity that VIBGYORMUN enjoys. In just nine years, VIBGYORMUN has achieved a stature that attracts globally committed citizens to come and present their opinions to the leaders of tomorrow. These young and very aware citizens of tomorrow have impressed us greatly. These young minds have acquired the ability and skill to thrive and flourish under difficult conditions and discuss, deliberate and resolve issues pressing their world today. It was, at the same time, an honour to have with us respectable and experienced international guests delivering such timely and appropriate words of encouragement. I extend my appreciation to the students, staff and management of VIBGYOR High as well as the Secretariat, the Executive Board, the delegates and the Organising Committee of VIBGYORMUN 9 for making this magnanimous event such a memorable affair.

Shim Mathew Founder VIBGYORMUN Director – Academic Operaons | Iniaves and Internaonal Partnerships, VIBGYOR Group of Schools 6 With 6 Commiees and 400+ Delegates... A MUN to Remember The 9th edition of VIBGYOR Model United Nations was the very epitome of success as it was very interactive, engaging and self-motivating. It has redefined the MUN experience leaving students thirsting for more. Global issues took the centre stage and each delegate shone like the scintillating gemstones in the crown of VIBGYORMUN 9. They naturally displayed an array of individual brilliance while ensuring goodwill and friendship between people who magnanimously differed in their thinking and outlooks. VIBGYORMUN, since its inception in 2011, has been gaining grounds with an unmatched alacrity. It is not a surprise therefore that VIBGYORMUN has entrenched a prestigious position among the most popular MUNs in the country. More than 400 enthusiastic delegates from 35 schools and colleges in Mumbai and the rest of the country wholeheartedly and diligently participated in discussing and deliberating over three days. The illustrious and eloquent speakers and the very energetic and interactive panel discussion 'MUN Ki Baat' also grabbed everyone's attention. The introduction of 2 new committees to focus, discuss and debate on international and national issues, 10 fascinating and insightful topics, about 20 hours of intense committee sessions, 20 experienced Secretariat and the Executive Board Members and innovative and exciting developments, all in the warm and hospitable environment of the Hyatt Regency, Andheri (East) culminated in ensuring that VIBGYORMUN 9 became a phenomenon par excellence. The two new committees, All India Political Parties' Meet (AIPPM) and United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UNW), with their star-studded Chairs and Vice Chairs set new benchmarks in alleviating the seemingly insurmountable issues that threaten our existence. The remarkably experienced and competent Secretariat ensured that the experience of the delegates was exhilarating and at the same time, transformed the flicker of hope to a steady flame to strengthen resolutions related to pressing issues like education, freedom
