Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union

Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union
LocationJawaharlal Nehru University, Delhi

The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union or JNUSU is a students' union at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi.[1][2]

The JNUSU follows the student drafted JNUSU constitution.[3][4]

The Students' Union has four central panel positions. These are the posts of President, Vice President, General Secretary and Joint Secretary.[5]

An EPW study notes how in the last four decades (1974–2008 and 2012–17), in the JNUSU elections, the Students’ Federation of India (SFI) has won the post of president 22 times while All India Students’ Association (AISA) has won it 11 times while Akhil Bhartia Vidhyarthi Parishad (ABVP) has won it once.[3] Notable presidents of JNUSU include CPI(M) politician Sitaram Yechury who was president in 1977-78, Congress National Secretary Shakeel Ahmed Khan in 1992-93 and Congress Rajya Sabha MP Syed Naseer Hussain in 1999-2000.[6][7][8] Vijoo Krishnan became the president of JNUSU in 1998.[9] D Raghunandan, D. P. Tripathi, Nalini Ranjan Mohanty also served as President.[10]

Chandrashekhar Prasad another president of the JNUSU was assassinated after joining politics in Bihar in 1997.[8]

JNUSU elections

JNUSU elections are conducted by students through an elected Election Committee.[11] In 2006, the Lyngdoh Committee,[12][13] formed to frame guidelines for 'Students’ Union Elections' across the country noted that there is no need for altering the JNU model and that JNU's model would be "difficult to replicate elsewhere".[11][14] However the JNUSU passed a resolution in 2016 to hold the elections via the JNUS constitution and not the Lyngdoh Committee model.[4]

The Students Union has four central panel positions. These are the posts of President, Vice President, General Secretary and Joint Secretary. Other posts include Councillors for each of the Schools and as well as a part time Councillor.[5] In 2019 there were 43 Councillors.[15]

After 2015, the left parties have been fighting the elections as one unit under the umbrella of United Left.[16]

Union Presidents

JNU is known for best Presidential debates by all candidates before elections.[17][18][19]

SFI has won the post of President the maximum number of times in the last 40 years,[a] a total of 22 times.[3] All India Students’ Association (AISA) follows by having won the presidents post 11 times.[3] SFI, AISF and AISA are the student wings of the Communist Parties.[3]
