National Hindu Students' Forum
- National Hindu Students' Forum

NHSF stands for the National Hindu Students' Forum, UK. NHSF is the national network of Hindu Societies operating on University and Further Education campuses around the UK. It was started in 1991 from a stall at a Hindu Marathon, but now operates in around 40 different United Kingdom institutions.
Until 15 years ago there was no Hindu representation on campus and so the first Hindu society, at London School of Economics, was set up to cater for needs specific to a Hindu student. Although in its early years there was large scale opposition to the creation of Hindu societies, with people arguing that the existing Asian or Indian societies sufficed, NHSF has now become a firmly established movement.
