Aligarh Muslim University students' union gets first woman vice-president in 105-year history
- Nashra Naim was elected the first woman vice president of the AMU Students' Union yesterday, marking the first time a woman has held a chair position in the institute's over-century history.
- The election occurred following an eight-year gap after the administration suspended the union in 2019 citing campus violence. A 19-day student protest prompted the administration to restore it.
- Naim, an LLB student from Gorakhpur, campaigned on updating outdated academic curricula and expanding 'third spaces' on campus. Her family supported her decision to run for vice president.
- Alongside Naim, students elected Noman Ashraf as president and Mohammad Hamdan as honorary secretary. Naim stated that it is 'very important to keep politics alive' on campus.
- Significantly, the AMU protests led to similar actions at Jamia Millia Islamia in Delhi, where student union elections had not been held in two decades. The administration there subsequently agreed to hold elections.
