	A 28-year-old from Kashmir [[Fairoz Khan]] was the face behind the National Student Union of India's (NSUI) victory in Delhi University student body polls. Within three months of being announced the national president of Congress’ student wing, Khan has made the party win in student body polls in the universities of four states—Punjab, Assam, Rajasthan and Delhi. A student of the human rights department at the University of Jammu, Khan was chosen by Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi for the post. Khan, who belongs to a middle-class family of Pogal Paristan village in Kashmir, said, "We had trained 600 students at DU, with at least one student in every class, who discussed students’ problems. This process went on for a month before the election dates were announced. We did not ask the students to vote for NSUI. Our request to them was to Take Back DU." Until now, Khan has managed to keep the NSUI a step ahead of its bitter rival—the RSS-backed [[Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad]] (ABVP). Giving credit of the victory to his team and the youth of the national capital who voted against violence and ‘forced nationalism’, Khan said, "Connecting with the ~~Nitish Gaur~~ students face to face, and betting on the right people worked best for the party." He believes any sort of suppression tactic over the students will not help.<ref>{{Cite web\|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/thesundaystandard/2017/sep/17/meet-the-face-behind-nsuis-delhi-university-win-1658331.html\|title=Meet the face behind ~~NSUI’s~~ Delhi university win\|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref>		A 28-year-old from Kashmir [[Fairoz Khan]] was the face behind the National Student Union of India's (NSUI) victory in Delhi University student body polls.

The '''National Students' Union of India''' (NSUI), the student wing of the [[Indian National Congress]] (INC or Congress), was established on 9 April 1971. The organisation was founded by [[Indira Gandhi]] after merging the [[Kerala Students Union]] and the [[West Bengal State Chhatra Parishad]] to form a national students' organisation.<ref>{{cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/NSUI|title=NSUI: Latest News, Videos and NSUI Photos|newspaper=[[The Times of India]]|access-date=10 January 2019}}</ref>

[[File:NSUI National Convention INQUILAB 1.jpg|thumb|left|NSUI National Convention INQUILAB 1]]
NSUI is preparing itself to execute the wishes of the party president [[Rahul Gandhi]]. In the recent{{when|date=December 2020}} plenary session of the party in New Delhi, Rahul emphasised the power of youth to revitalise the Congress party.

Taking a cue from its party president, the NSUI is channeling its energy for the general elections in 2019.

The NSUI's annual session in Jaipur was expected to have a gathering of around 10,000 students, youth leaders, Congress MLAs and MPs, and heads of all the frontal organisations of the party. The session, named Inquilab, was held on 9 and 10 April 2018.
[[File:NSUI National Convention INQUILAB 2.jpg|thumb|right|NSUI National Convention INQUILAB 2]]
Interestingly, a two-day conference of the BJP Yuva Morcha began in Jaipur on 7 April, days before the NSUI session. These back-to-back conferences are being seen as a serious attempt by the Congress to give the BJP a tough fight for the youth vote share.

"On the footprints of our leader Rahul Gandhi ji, the NSUI believes in fighting for the rights of the students on the basis of truth and morals. In this two-day session, NSUI will disseminate the message and decisions taken by the Congress president during the party’s plenary session, to all its cadres from across the country. It will be a training camp for our cadres in the run-up to the 2019 general election, in which first time voters will make a big difference," NSUI national president [[Fairoz Khan]] is behind the movement Inquilab. The agenda of the two-day conference was to raise demands for relaxation of age to contest Vidhan Sabha and Lok Sabha elections; setting up of a National Students’ Commission similar to the National Women's Commission and SC/ST commission; etc.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.firstpost.com/politics/nsui-set-to-begin-annual-session-in-jaipur-tomorrow-two-day-conference-aims-to-counter-bjps-youth-outreach-4422903.html|title=NSUI set to begin annual session in Jaipur tomorrow: Two-day conference aims to counter BJP's youth outreach - Politics News , Firstpost|date=8 April 2018|website=Firstpost}}</ref>

==Students' Union elections==
A 28-year-old from Kashmir [[Fairoz Khan]] was the face behind the National Student Union of India's (NSUI) victory in Delhi University student body polls. Within three months of being announced the national president of Congress’ student wing, Khan has made the party win in student body polls in the universities of four states—Punjab, Assam, Rajasthan and Delhi. A student of the human rights department at the University of Jammu, Khan was chosen by Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi for the post. Khan, who belongs to a middle-class family of Pogal Paristan village in Kashmir, said, "We had trained 600 students at DU, with at least one student in every class, who discussed students’ problems. This process went on for a month before the election dates were announced. We did not ask the students to vote for NSUI. Our request to them was to Take Back DU." Until now, Khan has managed to keep the NSUI a step ahead of its bitter rival—the RSS-backed [[Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad]] (ABVP). Giving credit of the victory to his team and the youth of the national capital who voted against violence and ‘forced nationalism’, Khan said, "Connecting with the Nitish Gaur students face to face, and betting on the right people worked best for the party." He believes any sort of suppression tactic over the students will not help.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/thesundaystandard/2017/sep/17/meet-the-face-behind-nsuis-delhi-university-win-1658331.html|title=Meet the face behind NSUI’s Delhi university win|website=The New Indian Express}}</ref>
