Birgunj, a city characterized by its multilingual and multi-ethnic population, provided an ideal setting for events like this MUN which plays a crucial role in shaping the minds of the next generation of global changemakers. Renowned for its economic significance, Birgunj is also celebrated for its religious and cultural landmarks, including the Lord Buddha stupa and the Gandhi Mai temple.
As the smallest province in Nepal, Madhesh boasts significant youth potential, yet it registers the lowest Human Development Index (HDI) among all Nepalese provinces. Recognizing the need to empower and educate the youth of Madhesh, Youth Thinkers’ Society (YTS) partnered with the US Embassy in Nepal to organize a Model United Nations (MUN) in the region. The inaugural session took place in 2019 with approximately 60 participants, followed by the second edition in 2023.
This year, the first Model United Nations (MUN) for the Road to EIMUN 2024 was successfully conducted in Birgunj, the heart of Madesh Province, from January 5 to 7. The event marked the third edition of UN simulation in this province, attracting delegates from all seven districts of the smallest province of Nepal.
