Since its establishment under the Gujarat Private Universities Act, it has swiftly risen to prominence as one of Western India's leading private universities. Remarkably, it is also the youngest university in India to earn the prestigious NAAC A++ accreditation.
At the core of this academic institution lies the Faculty of Liberal Arts, dedicated to nurturing exceptional problem-solving, communication, and leadership skills. With a thoughtfully crafted curriculum, it engages students with contemporary issues, empowering them to make a positive societal impact and contribute meaningfully to humanity.
Founded in 2011, I.I.M.U.N. is the world's largest youth-run organisation in India, driven by the vision of bringing the world closer the Indian way. The non-profit empowers young minds to engage with global issues through workshops, tours, literature festivals, and conferences, including simulations of bodies like the United Nations and the Indian Parliament.
From pioneering Model United Nations in India to evolving it into a Movement to Unite Nations, I.I.M.U.N. has democratised access to leadership, diplomacy, and problem-solving platforms across schools and colleges, especially in Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities. Today, it also works to make literature festivals a national norm, nurturing a culture of reading and dialogue among the next generation.
