About Us

The KIIT International Model United Nations (KIIT MUN) stands as a prestigious global forum organised by the student body of the Kalinga Institute of Industrial Technology under the aegis of KSAC. Since its establishment in 2013, KIIT MUN has firmly established itself as a benchmark for diplomacy and deliberation. In 2016, it earned worldwide acclaim by hosting the largest Model United Nations, with approximately 2,500 delegates participating. During the global pandemic of 2020, KIITMUN transitioned to a virtual format, achieving the distinction of the largest virtual MUN conference in Asia in 2021. KIITMUN's partnerships with UN entities and prestigious organizations like the British Council, IDP and PETA Youth, along with global MUN conferences, solidify its status as a leader in promoting international cooperation and global harmony.

KIIT MUN successfully hosted its 14th edition from 27th to 29th November 2026, bringing over 1,000 student delegates for three days of diplomacy, debate, and international dialogue. The conference featured 15 simulated committees addressing a range of contemporary geopolitical issues, with participation from delegates representing countries including France, Indonesia, and Nepal. The 2025 edition, themed “Voice to Vision”, continued KIIT MUN's emphasis on empowering young minds to engage with pressing global challenges and develop their diplomatic and leadership abilities.

KIITMUN provides delegates with opportunities to engage with a diverse global cohort, fostering critical diplomatic skills and understanding of international governance. The three-day conference, led by a distinguished Executive Board, includes interactive sessions that promote intellectual discourse and critical thinking. Beyond formal proceedings and cultural showcases lie networking events that help build lasting connections among participants. Using Global Challenges to foster innovative ideas has always been the goal of KIITMUN, and it plans to deliver the same, every year.

Kalinga Institute of Social Sciences (KISS), Bhubaneswar, stands as an extraordinary global benchmark in inclusive and humanitarian education. Founded in 1992–93 by Dr. Achyuta Samanta with an unwavering belief that education is the most powerful instrument of social transformation, KISS began with just 125 indigenous students and has evolved into the world's largest fully free and fully residential institution exclusively dedicated to tribal children, presently serving 80,000 students across its campuses and outreach centres in Odisha. In 2017, it was conferred Deemed-to-be University status, becoming the first and only university in the world exclusively for tribal students, and has since been accredited with an ‘A’ grade by NAAC.

Encompassing students from more than 60 tribal communities, including Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups, KISS delivers a comprehensive ecosystem of education, nutrition, healthcare, accommodation and skill development entirely free of cost, thereby redefining the scale and depth of sustainable social empowerment. Internationally acclaimed for its transformative impact, KISS holds Special Consultative Status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council and has collaborated with leading UN agencies in advancing shared developmental goals. Its conferment of the UNESCO International Literacy Prize in 2022 further affirms its stature as a pioneering institution of global significance. Through its unwavering commitment to dignity, equity and opportunity, KISS continues to reshape narratives of marginalisation into stories of achievement, leadership and hope.
