Student politics has made an important contribution in Nepali history. The end of the one-party system in which the freedom of speech was suppressed and the fundamental rights of the people were violated was made possible by the strength of the student movement. Blowing the trumpet of democracy, the student union-organization launched a campaign to address the aspirations of the people.

At that time, student politics was a symbol of change. The system changed over time but did not transform into student politics. It took the form of a factory for producing party workers. Student politics has become confused in the situation where even workers cannot be produced now. 

Nepal's universities are centers of study, teaching and research. Academic activities are not prioritized here. The university has turned into a platform for politics and personal gain. The old-style lockouts, vandalism, strike and threats continue. Even though all the student organizations agree on policy, the implementation is dubious. Such distorted politics is the outcome of student leader's selfishness and party influence. Every year students are leaving the campus. Some drop out of education and most of them are migrating abroad. 

Why are students going abroad? Why has dropout increased? No attempt has been made to answer these questions. Student politics should address these issues, but on the contrary, it has further enslaved the university. Unnecessary interference in administrative work, tampering with the examination system, involvement in contracts and financial corruption have become common complaints of student leaders. In recent years, many people have come to do many activities in the name of student politics, but there is no leader who can lead the entire student movement. 

The first condition for reforming student politics is to make the university conscious and aware. Student politics frenzied by agitation can only lead to accidents, not solutions. Political parties should play a responsible role to free the university from party interference. Although the current organizations should contribute to the educational development of students, the leadership itself is focused on perverted objectives. Student leaders are more active in interfering in campus administration, finding ways to make money, and strengthening organizations for personal gain than in teaching. Now the methods have changed but the purpose has not been clear. 

The political parties themselves should review the student union-organization institutionally and structurally. It seems that provision should be made to elect representatives to students who have demonstrated excellent political guidance and ability. The political leadership has not yet reached the attention of the political leadership to make student politics promising, which gives a glimpse of how the country's leaders will be tomorrow. The main purpose of the student organization and emphasis on its achievement has been disrupted by politics focused on means.

All student organization reforms require a solid action plan. A dialogue should be initiated on such a matter. University Acts and Rules should be amended to regulate the activities of associations. Efforts should be made to make the educational leadership of the university effective. The current leadership has to show courage and maintain good governance in the university.

On the other hand, student politics seems to be most abused by university officials and teachers. Those who make political lobbyists for themselves but treat student leaders like second-class citizens after establishing a relationship with the leader have spoiled our politics. 

The time has come for political parties to control the activities of their fraternal organizations. Unions should be declared illegal and political activities should be banned within the university. A concerted policy intervention is needed to reposition universities as centers of study, research and academic development. The criteria for political success has become the killing of states and power, power and resources. Even if student politics can be focused on the purpose of nation-building politics, many things will take care of themselves.

Nepali student politics transformation is the need of the hour. It can be used as a tool for educational reform and social transformation. However, for this, student unions-organizations, political parties, and university administration should coordinate. Bold steps should be taken to realize the vision of a university free from party politics. 

If student politics does not change its purpose, it will deepen the decline of the university. Only if student politics can be improved while preserving the golden achievements of the past, it can make a positive contribution to Nepali society. Transformation must start in the classroom. The standards of leadership ability, social responsibility and ethics should be applied in student politics. 

According to non-violent leader Mahatma Gandhi, there are three stages of personal transformation: introspection, self-examination and self-purification. According to Gandhi, a leader should first review his past – looking back at what he did yesterday is introspection. Then, evaluating which of those actions were right and which were wrong is self-examination. If you realize that you have made a mistake in your actions, it is self-purification to resolve not to do such actions in the future while atoning for it.
