Delhi University Students' Union Elections Set for September with New Campaign Rules
The upcoming Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) elections on September 18 will feature major student groups ABVP and NSUI competing for influence amid recent youth protests. ABVP has dominated the president's post in the past decade, while NSUI plans to focus on issues like the four-year undergraduate program and alleged police actions. This election cycle removes last year's 1 lakh security bond requirement, easing financial barriers for candidates, and introduces limits on campaign convoys to maintain campus order.
