ABOUT US
HFS MUN, founded in 2012 by the IBDP and ISC section of the Hiranandani Foundation School, has grown into a beacon for young minds to engage and resolve global affairs over the years. With over 350+ delegates from schools across India participating in 2023, it has made its standstill in the MUN community of Mumbai. Despite its impressive success, HFSMUN strives to maintain its original goal of nurturing awareness about international issues among young students and developing responsible future leaders who can participate in solving social, political, humanitarian, and economic crises across the world.​
​
The event is set to be held on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of August and is a testament to the tireless efforts of the school's students and faculty, who have worked day and night to ensure its grand success.
LETTER FROM THE SECRETARY-GENERAL

Om Chakravarthy Rajkumar,
Secretary-General
Dear Delegates, Faculty Members, and MUN aficionados,
My name is Om Chakravarthy Rajkumar, and I am the Secretary-General for the XIVth edition of the esteemed HFS MUN. If HFS MUN is yet to find a place in your journey, rest assured that the XIVth edition of this venerated conference is bound to leave a lasting impact. And for those who have already witnessed the legacy firsthand, prepare yourselves for this year's conference that is set to redefine excellence like never before.
HFSMUN 2025 will be held at Meluha - The Fern on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd of August. Staying true to its commitment to mirror the United Nations, this year's conference introduces six dynamic and new committees, each offering a unique perspective on global affairs:
The United Nations General Assembly (UNGA)
The United Nations Security Council (UNSC)
The Disarmament and International Security Committee(DISEC)
The Economic and Financial Affairs Council (ECOFIN)
The Indian Crisis Cabinet(ICC)
The United Nations Human Rights Council(UNHRC)
And the classic Night Crisis Committee.
As a delegate, Executive Board Member, and now Secretary-General, I've witnessed the conference's transformation firsthand. If anything, HFS MUN has helped me become the well-spoken, confident, and thoughtful person I am today. On behalf of the Secretariat and Organising Committee, it is with distinct honour that I welcome you to witness this transformation for yourself at HFS MUN 2025.
We live in a world where conflicts rage, authoritarian regimes tighten their grip, human rights are increasingly threatened, and diplomacy teeters on the brink of collapse. The theme for HFS MUN 2025 is "Designing Diplomacy", where I invite each delegate to rethink the confined and shackled concept of old-school diplomacy. It is a theme designed to call action and to rethink outdated practices that have hindered progress for too long. As the next generation of diplomats and change-makers, we must redefine what diplomacy can do. It should break free from the antiquated systems and carve a new path rooted in collaboration and compassion.
The future of diplomacy lies in our hands, and it starts now—with us. The only question remains: Are you ready to be the voice shaping this transformation?
Sincerely,
Om Chakravarthy Rajkumar,
Secretary-General,
HFS MUN 2025.
LETTER FROM THE DIRECTOR-GENERAL
Esteemed Delegates, Faculty Members, and Fellow MUNners,
I am Atharva Rajesh Shinde, the Director-General for HFS MUN 2025. This year, we convene against the backdrop of immense global challenges — conflicts persist, authoritarianism tightens its grip, and human rights continue to face relentless erosion. In such a world, diplomacy is not just relevant but indispensable.
HFS MUN has long been a forum where critical thought is not merely encouraged but expected. In its XIVth edition, we remain steadfast in our promise to uphold that standard—offering meticulously curated committees, pressing global agendas, and an environment designed to foster meaningful, transformative debate. Beyond the formalities of procedure, HFSMUN 2025 invites each of you to confront the world's complexities, challenge entrenched systems, sharpen your capacity for negotiation, and recognise the moral responsibility that diplomacy demands.
HFS MUN 2022 marked the beginning of my journey. The conference unveiled the depth, purpose, and transformative nature of Model United Nations. Watching the Secretariat and Executive Board lead with poise and conviction lit the ambition that now allows me the honour of addressing you.
To me, HFS MUN is more than a conference—it is a space for honesty, ethical growth, and the intellectual resilience the world so urgently needs. I hope each delegate arrives not merely to claim a title but to understand the weight of every word spoken, for it is in those words that change—both personal and global begins.
With Highest Regards,
Atharva Rajesh Shinde
Director-General,
HFSMUN 2025.
