Nepal Student Union

Nepal Student Union ( NSU) is the largest student political wings in Nepal. The Nepal Student Union represents the Nepali Congress. During the autocratic King's rule (Panchayati Byawastha), the union played a major role in unifying students to overthrow King's direct rule and establish democracy in the country. The organization was formed during autocratic Panchayat era. It was formed in March 1970 in Swyambhu, Kathmandu by Bipin Koirala, Marshall Julum Shakya and current politician Sher Bahadur Deuba. The first major student movement was held in 1979 for the sake of Free Student Union and for the restoration of Democracy in Nepal. The first president of Nepal student union was Bipin Koirala who was sworn in the post in 1970. In the year 1971, Sher Bahadur Deuba became the second president of the Nepal student union while Bimalendra Nidhi, a Madheshi face lead NSU during the 2036 referendum. The Jayatu Sanskritam dissent was considered the most significant and the first student dissents of Nepal. The students from Rajakiya Sanskrit Vidyalaya agitated against the policy of contemporary government. The role of the students was to create awareness among the people and to spread political consciousness as the beginning of democracy. The leaders of Jayatu Sanskritam included: Ram Prasad Neupane (from Ramechhap) Kashinath Gautam Sribhadra Sharma Khanal (from Tanahun) Parasuram Pokhrel Purna Prasad Brahman Kamal Raj Regmi Rajeshwor Devkota Gokarna Shastri Rajesh Sahani (From Kapilvastu 8 ) Nageshwar Nagbansi ( From kapilvastu 7 ) Anil Gaud The history of the developing process of student union suggests us that students have been presenting their persuasive nature since 2006. In India, Mahatma Gandhi was agitating against the English government school. B.P. Koirala in his very young age of 11 years was also involved in the movement under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi. In the age of 15, B.P. Koirala was confined because he was fighting for the emancipation of Nepali people from Rana Rein.
