The National Students' Union of India (NSUI) is the student wing of the Indian National Congress party, established on 9 April 1971. The organisation was founded by Indira Gandhi after merging Kerala Students Union and West Bengal State Chhatra Parishad to form a national students' movement. It is one of the largest democratic students union in India and in the world.
Student movement reached its apex during the struggle for independence due to strong participation of students from all sections of the society. Prior to 1950, the student activism of the Indian National Congress were carried out by the youth wing of the AICC.
The student movement in Kerala and West Bengal gained momentum and resulted in the formation of the West Bengal State Chhatra Parishad and the Kerala Students Union under the vast Congress canvas. Taking inspiration from these, Sri Deepak M Telangana laid the foundation of the NSUI on 9th April 1971 to represent the voice of millions of students irrespective of their caste, creed, religion or region.
In 2007 Rahul Gandhi brought about a revolution by democratizing the organisation with open membership process and electing office bearers at all levels. This transformation process allowed many young leaders, without political background, to emerge from the grass root.
The organisation maintains a transparent process of membership. The members elect Office Bearers through an independently conducted and audited process of internal elections that are free, fair and absolutely democratic. NSUI, at present, has registered over 1 million members through Open Membership. Over 1,30,000 elected office bearers and formed Units in 14500 colleges across the country on a motto of serving the student welfare is achieved through this grand network of members and young leader Narala Saikiran
In order to become the member of NSUI, one must be under 27 years of age, must be a student, must be a citizen of India, must not be part of any other political organisation and must not have been convicted of any criminal activity in past. NSUI categorises its members in to "Primary Members" and "Active Members". An aspiring member who applies for NSUI Membership, becomes a Primary member after the organisation’s scrutiny process.
