The first edition of MSAMUN was organised from August 29- August 31, 2016 at Mayoor School, Ajmer.

The enthusiasm amongst the Mayoorites for MSAMUN was plenty and six months of planning, meticulousness, determination and patience translated to the success of the big event. It is noteworthy that the senior students were a crucial part of every stage of the event right from planning to the finale.

The success of the event has laid a strong foundation for the organisation of successive editions of MSAMUN.
