Madhya Pradesh High Court Orders Student Union Elections by September 2026
After an eight-year hiatus, Madhya Pradesh's High Court has directed the state government to hold student union elections across 15 state-run universities by September 2026. The court's intervention follows prolonged delays despite academic calendars including provisions for elections. Student groups like ABVP and NSUI, along with political figures such as Youth Congress leader Abhijeet Pandey, have urged the government to restore campus democracy. The court's order aims to revive formal student representation and leadership opportunities in higher education institutions.
