Adarsh M. Saji (Kerala), and Srijan Bhattacharya (West Bengal) were elected president and general secretary, respectively, of the Students Federation of India (SFI) here on Sunday (June 29, 2025) at the organisation’s ongoing four-day national conference.
Mr. Saji is a native of Chathannur in Kollam district, a release from the SFI stated. He has earlier been the State vice-president and national joint secretary of the SFI. Mr. Saji is a final year LLB student at the Janhit College of Law, Delhi.
Mr. Bhattacharya is a native of Jadavpur in West Bengal. He has served as the SFI’s national joint secretary. He was a candidate of the Left Front in the 2021 West Bengal Assembly election from Singur, and the 2024 Lok Sabha election from Jadavpur.
The meeting also elected an 87-member central executive committee.
Mr. Saji told the media that the SFI had registered an increase in membership of around five lakh between its previous conference and the present one. Accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government of trying to snatch away the rights of the poor to study through the National Education Policy, he said the SFI would launch protests against such policies in the coming days. Mr. Bhattacharya said that steps would be taken to increase the organisation’s strength in the Hindi heartland, and expand its presence in digital media.
The conference will conclude on Monday (June 30, 2025), with a rally and a public meeting at the Kozhikode beach in the presence of Chief Minister Pinarayi Vijayan.
