In her first official address as the newly elected President of Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union (JNUSU), Aditi Tandon delivered a powerful message to the university administration, emphasizing the need for greater accountability and responsiveness to student concerns.
A New Era of Student Leadership
The 32nd JNUSU president, representing the Left-backed All India Students' Association (AISA), outlined her vision for a more collaborative relationship between students and administrators. "When students approach the administration with genuine concerns, they must be heard and their issues addressed promptly," Tandon asserted during her inaugural speech.
Addressing Critical Campus Issues
Tandon highlighted several pressing challenges facing the university community that demand immediate attention:
- Hostel accommodation shortages affecting countless students
- Infrastructure deficiencies across campus facilities
- Administrative delays in resolving student grievances
- The need for improved communication channels between stakeholders
Building Bridges Through Dialogue
Despite the strong stance on administrative accountability, Tandon expressed optimism about working constructively with university officials. "We believe in dialogue and discussion as the way forward," she stated, while making it clear that the student union would not hesitate to escalate matters if concerns remain unaddressed.
The new president's approach signals a potentially transformative period for JNU's student-administration dynamics, with promises of more proactive engagement and persistent advocacy for student welfare.
