Delhi University Students Union Originated from 1947 Proposal for Student Representation
The Delhi University Students Union (DUSU) originated from a proposal on August 6, 1947, just before India's independence, to establish a student representative body. The university's vice-chancellor informed the Executive Council about forming a union and a committee to draft its constitution, with an initial grant of Rs 150 proposed. Early challenges included financial sustainability, with the university encouraging self-sufficiency by 1953. Over time, DUSU became a key platform for student representation and campus politics across Delhi University colleges.
