Students' Bodies Announce Final Panel For DUSU Elections

Outfits promise to work towards women’s safety, fighting inequality, among others

With promises of working towards women’s safety, affordable transportation and fighting inequality, prominent students’ groups — ABVP, NSUI and AISA — declared their final panel for the upcoming Delhi University Students’ Union (DUSU) elections, on Thursday.

Among candidates for the post of president fielded by the ABVP, which was in power in the previous academic year, is Akshit Dhaiya, a sportsperson and a first-year student at the Faculty of Law. Mr. Dhaiya said he hopes to cultivate an environment to encourage more university students to win medals at international competitions, such as the Olympics. The group’s candidates hope to form a “trustworthy, accountable and accessible” student’s union that would work towards “inclusive activism” and making the campus safer for women.
