The 27th State conference of the Students Federation of India (SFI) has elected S. Mridhula as its president. She is the first woman president of the state unit of the SFI.
“The foremost challenge before us is to politicise students. Student activities and democratic movements on campuses are viewed as terrorist activities by all state governments. Except for Kerala, no state in India, including Tamil Nadu and West Bengal, are ready to conduct student union elections,” said Ms Mridhula, who has completed her postgraduate degree in Sociology from Madras University.
