All India Students Federation
- All India Students Federation
The All India Students Federation (AISF) was the first student union in India level.
It was founded by Jawaharlal Nehru on 12 August 1936 with the banner Freedom Peace Progress. At that time, it worked for the independence of India. The organisation now works for the betterment of students. It believes in peace, progress and scientific socialism. The AISF has state committees in several states in India.
It sought to provide a unified voice to student protesters coming out of the civil disobedience movement of 1930. It not only boosted India's struggle for freedom, but also intensified the Indian student movement by involving an unprecedented number of students in it. Colleges were closed, movements launched and illegal publications distributed. Many students were dismissed from their colleges or were sent behind bars.
