The Delhi University Students Union, generally abbreviated DUSU, is the umbrella student organisation at the University of Delhi.
DUSU elections are considered most high profile student union elections in country as it provides opportunity to enter directly into national politics.[1] The University of Delhi has a long history of student political activity. DUSU is the representative body of students from most Colleges and Faculties. EachCollege also has its own students union to which elections are held every year. Student elections are keenly contested. Several of the office bearers of DUSU have gone on to hold public offices at the Centre and in different States.
The elections to Delhi University Students Union, formerly indirect through the electoral votes of college councillors, are now held by direct voting in the autumn term by the students of the University and constituent colleges. The elections are usually held in August–September of each year.[2]
The current leadership of DUSU (2011–2012) is a mixed bag of 3 representatives from ABVP while one from NSUI. It is after a long gap that no girl candidate is elected to panel (Last time it happened in 1977 - 78).[3]
