The National Students' Union of India (NSUI) released a 19‑point election manifesto for Delhi University, pledging affordable hostels, discounted metro passes and a 24‑hour library for students.
Delhi University’s upcoming student elections have seen the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) roll out a detailed 19‑point manifesto. The document outlines a range of student‑centric measures aimed at improving campus life and affordability.
Key promises include subsidised metro passes for commuters, the creation of low‑cost hostel and PG accommodations, and the establishment of a round‑the‑clock library to support academic work beyond regular hours. NSUI also highlighted plans for enhanced digital resources and better campus safety.
The manifesto, released ahead of the DU polls, is intended to position NSUI as the party offering concrete, welfare‑focused solutions for the student body. Analysts note that such promises could sway a significant portion of the electorate, especially those concerned with daily commuting costs and study facilities.
While the party has not disclosed detailed implementation timelines, it has pledged to begin negotiations with university authorities and the Delhi government immediately after the election results are declared.
