Factors affecting Campus Democracy
 Lack of management support and an enabling
environment for students to get involved in
democratic processes in the campus
 Academic constrains not helping students
interested in campus politics
 Restrictions for students’ involvement in politics
on campus
 Lack of a platform for developing awareness on
campus democracy and governance processes
7/11/201316 www.civitas.in
…Contd
7/11/2013www.civitas.in17
 Students’ lack of interest and distrust in political
and governance processes
 Violation of basic principles of non-
violence, democracy, transparency and
accountability in educational institutions
 End result of these dynamics are that student
councils are not effectively concentrating on
addressing students’ issues
Learnings
 Reactions towards campus elections are mixed
with students demanding for more representation
 Lyngdoh Committee recommendations are yet to
be taken under serious consideration- The
relevance of the recommendations need to be
understood in the present context
 There is a definite influence of political parties on
the representation system
7/11/201318 www.civitas.in
…Contd
7/11/2013www.civitas.in19
 Incidents of violence still take place during
elections
 Majority of the private colleges, especially those
that offer professional courses, frown upon
campus elections- Students support a democratic
process
 Majority of the faculty members feel that student
politics dilutes the spirit of academics and it’s
better kept out of the campus.
..Contd
7/11/2013www.civitas.in20
 Students are dis-interested to become student
leaders or take politics as a career- Increasing
role of youth politicians is encouraging
 Majority of the students feel that student unions
are not the ultimate remedy to their problems-
Revisit the role of student unions with more
participation and transparency
 Faculties and management’s feel that student
elections do not foster democratic practices on
the campus- Focus and priorities have changed
 There is a considerable drop in student interest
towards campus politics and socio-political
issues- A social reality?
Thank You
