With participation from over 700 students representing more than 41 schools across India and overseas, VIBGYOR MUN 2025 was a vibrant forum for dialogue, critical thinking, and solution-building. Across eleven sessions and seven dynamic committees--including COP30, SPECPOL, UNICEF, the Security Council, and Lok Sabha--students addressed pressing topics such as equitable climate finance, disaster risk reduction, and balancing national interests with global environmental goals.

Kavita Kerawalla, Vice-Chairperson, VIBGYOR Group of Schools, stated, "It was incredibly heartening to witness the passion and dedication shown by the students during the 15th VIBGYOR MUN. This year, it felt especially meaningful. The conversations around climate were not just informed--they were deeply personal. These students weren't discussing abstract policies; they were standing up for their future and for a planet they genuinely care about. What moved me most was their ability to approach such a critical global issue with empathy, clarity, and conviction. It reminded us that real leadership doesn't emerge from authority--it is born from awareness, courage, and the will to act even when the odds are overwhelming."
