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>
