DU Rival Groups Launch Competing Drives to Crowdsource DUSU Manifestos

The campaigns aim to convert student suggestions into concrete manifesto commitments before the September 18 DUSU vote.

Overview

  • ABVP launched its 'My DU, My Manifesto' drive on Monday, rolling out QR-code submission links and volunteers to collect suggestions across Delhi University colleges.
  • NSUI said its 'My Campus, My Manifesto' campaign collected nearly 6,000 student suggestions in a week and plans to analyse every entry to shape its manifesto.
  • Both groups are using a mix of offline suggestion boxes and face-to-face outreach plus digital QR forms to gather views on academics, campus infrastructure and student welfare.
  • Organisers say the drives are meant to show grassroots legitimacy and to turn student priorities into specific policy pledges ahead of the September 18 election.
  • The campaigns underline how DUSU contests serve as a high-profile arena for national-affiliated student outfits to mobilise voters and influence daily campus life for students.
