At D Y Patil University in Indore, the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad secured three seats in the student union elections, marking a significant political resurgence on campus after a nine‑year hiatus.
The student union elections at D Y Patil University (DYU) in Indore resumed after a nine‑year break, with the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP) emerging as the clear winner by taking three seats.
The elections, which were held on a limited basis, saw ABVP candidates contesting in the positions of President, Vice‑President and General Secretary. Their victory is seen as a boost for the organization’s presence on campus and a signal of renewed student political engagement.
University officials noted that the elections were conducted under strict health protocols, and the turnout was modest but steady. While the ABVP’s success has energized its supporters, other student bodies, including the National Students' Union of India (NSUI), are preparing to contest future polls.
The result has sparked discussions among faculty and students about the role of student politics in higher education, with many hoping that the elections will encourage more active participation and debate on campus issues.
Abhijit, a senior lecturer at DYU, said the elections “have opened a new chapter for student representation, allowing voices to be heard in university governance.”
