JNU Students Union
The JNU Students’ Union has always been an important voice of the left students' movements in India. The JNUSU has a unique constitution, which is completely drafted by the students themselves. At present the students union is led by the far-left All India Students Association (AISA). Over the years the SFI-AISF alliance has controlled the Central Panel in JNUSU; however, in 2007 the alliance had lost all important posts of the students union by its rival party AISA.

However, students politics in India is all set to undergo a transformation with the Supreme Court complying with the recommendations of J.M. Lyngdoh Committee on students' union elections in universities. JNUSU's reaction to these developments would definitely have an impact on the future of India's students politics.
