I.I.M.U.N. India’s International Movement to Unite Nations
75 million participants | 30,000 organisers | 275 cities | 40 Countries | 15 Years | 1 NGO

Ushering in a new era of diplomats and world leaders, the India's International Movement to Unite Nations is a pioneer in educational conferencing for students and will continue to be so. Since the first conference in 2012 in Mumbai which was India's largest, we have now grown to ambitions and projects larger than life, by organising the world's largest Model UN Conference as well as being the first civil society in the world to carry out an MUN conference in the UN headquarters in New York. We are Indian at heart and international in our minds. We are the India's International Movement to Unite Nations.

This Gandhi Jayanti, we crossed borders to honour Bapu. 🇮🇳🇧🇪

Our journey continued to Brussels, Belgium. Bapu’s message of truth and nonviolence travelled far beyond India and found admirers across Europe, where thinkers like Romain Rolland helped carry his ideals to the world. In the heart of Europe, a city that has long stood for dialogue between nations, those ideals feel right at home.

At the Embassy of India in Brussels, Belgium, our delegates came together for a Youth Dialogue on a question that feels more relevant than ever: how can India and the Belgium do better, as two nations, by following the principles Gandhi lived by?

The setting made it even more meaningful. Belgium was among the first European nations to establish ties with India, in 1947, five months before India’s independence, and India opened its Embassy in Brussels in 1948, with Ambassador Badruddin Tyabji as its founding head. Today the Embassy also serves as India’s window to Luxembourg and the European Union, and the partnership between India and Belgium spans trade, science, technology, and culture. To hold a conversation on peace and partnership in a place with such a rich legacy felt truly special.

We are deeply grateful to have had this dialogue within the walls of the Indian Embassy in Brussels, Belgium. Over thoughtful conversation, our delegates explored how truth, non-violence, mutual respect, and cooperation can shape a stronger partnership between the two countries.

It was a powerful reminder that diplomacy is not only built in negotiation halls. It begins with young people willing to listen, understand, and act together. 🤝

This Gandhi Jayanti, we hope that young leaders everywhere choose understanding over division, and carry Bapu’s ideals into the rooms where the future is decided. 🕊️

This Gandhi Jayanti, we crossed borders to honour Bapu. 🇮🇳🇧🇷

Our journey continued to São Paulo, Brazil. Bapu’s message of truth and nonviolence travelled far beyond India, and it has found echoes across Latin America, including in Brazil, where leaders like Archbishop Dom Hélder Câmara championed peaceful change over violence.

At the Consulate General of India in São Paulo, Brazil, our delegates came together for a Youth Dialogue on a question that feels more relevant than ever: how can India and Brazil do better, as two nations, by following the principles Gandhi lived by?

The setting made it even more meaningful. Located on the iconic Avenida Paulista, the heart of one of the world’s most vibrant cities, the Consulate serves the Indian community and friends of India across the states of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Paraná, Santa Catarina, and Rio Grande do Sul. Alongside it stands the Swami Vivekananda Cultural Centre, where India’s culture is shared with Brazil. Two large democracies, two proud voices of the Global South, and a partnership growing through trade, culture, and people-to-people ties.

Our journey to celebrate Gandhi Jayanti continued to Bamako, Republic of Mali. Bapu’s message of truth and nonviolence travelled far beyond India. It lit the path for freedom movements across Africa, including in West Africa, where leaders such as Ghana’s Kwame Nkrumah drew on nonviolent “Positive Action” in the journey to independence. A wave of change followed, and in 1960 the Republic of Mali took its place among free nations.

The setting made it even more meaningful. The Government of India established its Embassy in Bamako in May 2009, opening a new chapter in a friendship built on shared values, mutual trust, and goodwill. Both nations cherish their independence, both are founding members of the International Solar Alliance, and India has long stood as a development partner of the Republic of Mali. To hold a conversation on peace and partnership in a place that carries this relationship forward felt truly special.

Just before Gandhi Jayanti, we had the privilege of visiting the Embassy of India in Washington, D.C. 🇮🇳🇺🇸

Within its walls, our conversations turned to peace, diplomacy, and what it takes for two of the world’s largest democracies to build trust and walk forward together.

Gandhi Ji’s legacy holds a special place in this city. His philosophy of nonviolence reached Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who carried it into the American civil rights movement and, in 1963, to the National Mall, where hundreds of thousands gathered for the March on Washington. And right across from the Embassy, on Massachusetts Avenue, stands a bronze statue of Mahatma Gandhi, inspired by his 1930 Salt March and dedicated in 2000. It is a quiet reminder that Bapu’s message is woven into the story of Washington itself.

To be inside the Embassy, where the everyday work of diplomacy unfolds, was a reminder that relationships between nations are built by people, one conversation at a time.

As Gandhi Jayanti drew near, we reflected on truth, restraint, and respect, not as distant ideals, but as a practical way of meeting disagreement with understanding. 🕊️

This Gandhi Jayanti, we crossed borders to honour Bapu. 🇮🇳🇰🇷

Our first stop: Seoul, Republic of Korea. Though Gandhi never walked its streets, his ideas of non - violence and peaceful resistance have long inspired movements for freedom and justice far beyond India, including in the Republic of Korea.

At the Embassy of India in Seoul, Republic of Korea, our delegates came together for a Youth Dialogue on a question that feels more relevant than ever: how can India and the Republic of Korea do better, as two nations, by following the principles Gandhi lived by?

The setting made it even more meaningful. India first opened a Consulate General in Seoul in 1962, and in 1973 full diplomatic relations were established between India and the Republic of Korea, with the mission rising to the level of an Embassy. For over half a century, these walls have stood as a bridge between our two nations, a link that stretches back even further, to the ancient story of Princess Suriratna of Ayodhya, who travelled to the Republic of Korea and became Queen Heo Hwang-ok. To hold a conversation on peace and partnership in a place with such history felt truly special.

Our first stop in Washington, D.C. had to start with the phenomenal National Geographic (National Geographic), and it set the tone for everything that followed on this leg of the journey. We sat down with the CEO for a conversation that went far beyond maps and magazines.

Our biggest takeaway: multitasking is extremely overrated. You don’t need to do ten things at once to be productive, sometimes the better move is to give one thing your full attention, do it properly, and then move on. Moving between different priorities takes real planning and strategy, and whatever you choose to pursue needs genuine passion behind it.

We also learned that authenticity matters, being present, listening well, and leading with a collaborative spirit go further than people expect. Taking risks is often what creates something entirely new, when National Geographic first began using photography in its magazine, many feared it was a step away from science, but it went on to define the brand entirely.
Above all, we were reminded that a good storyteller humanizes the story, making people feel connected to it, not just informed by it.

And of course, seeing the different animals along the way didn’t hurt either.

Fun fact: National Geographic’s very first issue, published in October 1888, had no photographs at all and didn’t even carry its now-iconic yellow border.
Photography was only introduced in 1905, and the yellow border we all recognize today didn’t appear until 1910.

Our third stop on I.I.M.U.N.’s USA Leadership Tour is Washington, D.C., the heart of democracy, diplomacy, and the decisions that shape our world. Here, history is not only remembered, it is made, and the ideals of leadership, service, and public voice come alive on every street.

From the quiet dignity of the Lincoln Memorial to the towering presence of the Capitol, Washington, D.C. carries a purpose unlike any other city, calling us to lead with integrity and speak with conviction. As we walk through the nation’s capital, we carry forward everything we’ve learned along the way, grateful for the journey behind us and inspired by all that lies ahead.

Our USA Leadership Tour brought us to the Consulate General of India in New York, and we came away with a much clearer sense of what a consulate actually does, how it differs from an embassy, and how its various departments function day to day.

One of our biggest takeaways was around capital, and how it isn’t just about money. It influences businesses, economies, development, opportunities, and even international relations. Understanding how capital moves and how it gets used is a real key to understanding the world around us.

We also learned that money alone doesn’t drive growth in an economy. Perception plays just as big a role, how investors, the diaspora, and global markets perceive a country’s stability and opportunity often decides where capital actually flows. Economic development, we realised, is as much about building credibility as it is about building capital.

Another thing that stayed with us was the weight India places on education, and how its initiatives reach communities far beyond its own borders.

Fun fact: the Consulate’s building on East 64th Street wasn’t originally built to be a consulate at all. It was constructed in 1903 as a private residence for socialite Carrie Astor, and was bought by the Indian government in 1950. Today, it’s a protected landmark in New York’s Upper East Side Historic District.

Our USA Leadership Tour took a creative turn as we visited designer B I B H U M O H A P A T R A just days before his collection would hit the runway at New York Fashion Week.

We got a rare, unfiltered look behind the curtain, watching a collection literally come together in real time. From fittings and fabric trials to last-minute adjustments and the quiet chaos that no one sees on the runway, it was a glimpse into just how much precision, patience, and pressure goes into the few minutes a collection is on show.

Born in Rourkela, Odisha, and trained at F.I.T. in New York, he has spent over a decade dressing names like Michelle Obama, Priyanka Chopra, and Jennifer Lopez, while never losing sight of his roots. Watching him work, it was clear his heritage isn’t just an inspiration for his designs, it’s woven into how he creates altogether.

Fun fact: Bibhu launched his namesake label at New York Fashion Week in February 2009, and has been a fixture on the NYFW calendar every season since.
