What do Gujarat student leaders want? Question after Gen Z protests

Though Gujarat’s student unions lost official elections, student politics remain active as Gen Z mobilises around paper leaks, fee hikes, admissions and faculty shortages. CJP’s Jantar Mantar protests and Dharmendra Pradhan’s resignation refocused attention on campuses, prompting calls to restore elections. Student groups such as ABVP, NSUI, SFI and the AAP’s wing debate activism, recruitment and how campus struggles often feed into mainstream party careers.
