The Student Union Politics: A Boon for Students' Development

Universities and colleges are the temples of learning where the most influential scientists, doctors, engineers, writers, professors, and politicians are born. While students’ first major motive for joining college is education, there are various other matters that affect their process of getting an education.

And for the welfare and development of students and for their leadership skills, most of the colleges have Students Union (SU). Student unions as per the objective of their establishment are there for the welfare of students, but most of the time they are criticized for promoting politics in the education sector.

“There are many problems related to admission, hostel fee, irresponsible teachers, and lack of sufficient infrastructure in colleges which students are unable to solve individually. The SU’s are always there to address such problems,” added Yami-Bhattarai.

Practicing and discussing politics is discouraged at all levels in various prestigious academic organizations in the country. The main reason behind such restrictions is to maintain an iron fist rule over the subjects.

But in a bid to prevent such crisis, other universities decided to completely uproot student unions rather than trying to fill the loopholes in the system. This action has alienated young Pakistani students from the leadership scene of this country.

While the honest and patriotic youth works diligently in the academic field, a feudal ignorant breed of rascals rules the roost in the power corridors making decisions that will affect the destiny of millions of Pakistanis.
