New Delhi: Nashra Naeem has made history by becoming the first woman vice-president of the Aligarh Muslim University Students’ Union (AMUSU).
Nashra, a native of Gorakhpur in Uttar Pradesh, is a law student at Aligarh Muslim University. Numan Ashraf was elected president, while Mohammad Hamdan secured the post of secretary.
The students’ union elections, which had been suspended for eight years by the Sanghi admin, were reinstated following strong student protests in recent months. The university has a student population of more than 20,000.
Nashra is the first woman to become vice-president in the 142-year history of Aligarh Muslim University. A central committee member of the Fraternity Movement, she won the election by a margin of 1,273 votes.
She had been at the forefront of student protests on the campus, including the recent agitation demanding the restoration of the students’ union elections.
