India’s Most Prestigious Conference
Harvard Model United Nations India is a four-day international Model UN conference for high school students, co-produced by Harvard University’s International Relations Council and Worldview Education. It is widely considered as the most prestigious academic conferences for high school students in India and Asia.Each year, over 1,000 students from more than 300 leading schools participate. Delegates represent countries or stakeholders in committees modeled on real global institutions such as the United Nations, multilateral agencies, and international councils. Students research foreign policy positions, write formal position papers, negotiate resolutions, draft working papers, and vote under structured rules of procedure. Committees are chaired by students from Harvard University, ensuring academic rigor and consistency with the 80 year long legacy of Harvard Model United Nations. Delegates are evaluated on research depth, policy understanding, negotiation ability, and leadership within committee.Beyond debate, HMUN India includes skill-building workshops, speaker sessions with diplomats and industry leaders, and structured programming focused on university readiness and global careers. The conference also operates an Impact Initiative and Development Fund that supports student-led projects aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. For schools and students searching for the best Model UN conference in India, a top international MUN experience, or a overall energy-infused academic conference for high school students, HMUN India is the platform that combines scale, structure, and academic seriousness. It is designed for students who want more than participation. It is built for those who want preparation for global universities and leadership spaces.Hosts
The HMUN India experience is deliberately and carefully designed, evolving each year under the leadership of Harvard University’s International Relations Council and Worldview. For the past sixteen years, teams from Harvard and Worldview have worked together to uphold a consistent academic standard while responding thoughtfully to a changing global context and a new generation of students.
