Nepal Student Union is one of the major student political wings in Nepal. The Nepal Student Union represents the Nepali Congress, currently the largest political party in the Legislature Parliament of Nepal. During the autocratic King's rule (Panchayati Byawastha), the union played a major role in unifying students to overthrow King's direct rule and establish democracy in the country.
The organization was formed during autocratic Panchayat era. It was formed in March 1970 in Kathmandu by Bipin Koirala, Marshall Julum Shakya and current politicians Arjun Narasingha K.C. and Sher Bahadur Deuba.
The first major student movement was held in 1979 for the sake of Free Student Union and for the restoration of Democracy in Nepal. The first president of Nepal student union was Bipin Koirala in 1970. In the year 1971, Sher Bahadur Deuba became the second president of the Nepal student union.
The history of the developing process of student rebel suggests us that students have been presenting their rebellious nature since 2006. In India, Mahatma Gandhi was agitating against the English government school. B.P. Koirala in his very young age of 11 years was also involved in that rebel under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi.
In the age of 15, B.P. Koirala was arrested because he was fighting for the emancipation of Nepali people from Rana Rein. He was the President of Congress Socialist Party of boys section. And Ganesh Man Singh was expelled from Durbar High School; Krishna Prasad Bhattarai was the Vice President of “Nepal Chatra Sangh“, the union of Nepali Students in Banarash.
Students were the agents who exploded the revolution against the tyrannical system of Rana rein. In the context of student rebel, in BS 1997, magh 16, the student leader of Tri-Chandra College, Ganga Lal Shrestha was killed by hanging on a tree in Shova Bhagawati. So, he is called first martyr of the student rebel.
