The Madhya Pradesh Congress has stepped up preparations for the first student union elections in nine years, appointing 13 election in‑charges to oversee the process across districts.
After a nine‑year hiatus, the state government of Madhya Pradesh is set to hold student union elections in colleges and universities, a move seen as a revival of campus democracy. The announcement has drawn attention from political parties and student bodies alike, as it marks the first such exercise since the elections were last conducted in 2015.
In response, the Madhya Pradesh unit of the Indian National Congress has accelerated its organisational work. The party has named thirteen election in‑charges, each tasked with coordinating activities in a specific district. These officials are expected to liaise with college administrations, manage candidate nominations and ensure compliance with the electoral timetable.
The party’s strategy aims to strengthen its presence among the youth electorate ahead of upcoming state elections. While the exact dates for the student polls have not been disclosed, the appointment of district in‑charges signals that the Congress is preparing to field candidates and mobilise support across the state’s higher‑education institutions.
