About La Martinière Model United Nations
In 2013, a dream took flight, an aspiration was born – La Martinière Model United Nations. A seed of intellect sown with hope, it now stands tall: LMUN has evolved into one of the most prestigious conferences in our nation, attracting delegates from all corners of the country. This coveted platform offers participants the unique advantage of engaging in meaningful discussions on global issues, honing critical thinking, and developing impeccable diplomatic skills.
As you step into the shoes of diplomats and world leaders, you will find yourself immersed in the art of negotiation and consensus-building, learning to navigate through complexities and embracing diverse perspectives. We strive to create an environment that readily encourages delegates to discuss and deliberate on all critical aspects of international relations, gain a nuanced view of global issues, and nurture their skills in diplomacy and negotiation.
Over the past decade, LMUN has attracted delegates from all around the world. The COVID-19 pandemic forced us to adapt swiftly and shift our operations to the virtual realm — yet the spirit of diplomacy and intellectual exchange remained unyielding. The return to an offline format presents us with an opportunity to relish the palpable energy of this gathering, where brilliant minds converge to address some of the world’s most pressing issues, building bridges that transcend borders and fostering a sense of unity and purpose.
“Brilliant minds converge to arrive at lasting solutions to the problems which face our world — all in hopes of a better future.”

About La Martinière College
La Martinière College, Lucknow, established in 1845, was founded in accordance with the Will of Major General Claude Martin. Born in Lyon, France, in 1735, the Founder died in Lucknow on 13 September 1800 — a day commemorated, by his own instruction, as Founder’s Day. His Will decreed that “my house at Luckperra or Constantia House with all the ground and premises belonging to the house… none is to be sold or detached from it”, defining its purpose: to keep the said Constantia House for a school or college for learning young men.
During the stirring events of 1857, the Principal, Masters and boys of La Martinière played a role perhaps unique in the history of the world. They defended an extremely exposed part of the southern perimeter of the Residency, withstood infantry and artillery attacks, and were subjected to mining operations — ably defending ‘The Martinière Post’ for almost five months while studies continued. In 1938, the College was awarded colours bearing the legend ‘Defence of Lucknow, 1857’ — a distinction no other school in the world enjoys.
Today, over the span of one and a half centuries, the College has produced soldiers, sailors and airmen, engineers, doctors, educationists, administrators and outstanding sportsmen, now scattered across the globe. It counts among its illustrious alumni the Keelor brothers, awarded the Vir Chakra, and Nobel Peace Laureate Dr Rajendra Pachauri.
