About KSU St.Thomas Unit in , Thrissur

Welcome to Kerala Students Union

KSU - the largest democratic and secular student organization in Kerala, invites the student community to join our incessant struggles and efforts for free knowledge, equal opportunities and overall personal development . KSU believes in student activism based on a Progressive Thought, Secular Vision and Democratic Action. Inheriting the noble ideals of our great national movement and upholding the true spirit of our plural nationalism, we dedicate ourselves to assist the new - generation student to manifest the leadership inherent in them.
KSU entered the center stage of student politics in Kerala with the famous “Orana Samaram”, a strike for travel concessions for students in buses and boats owned by the state. The ruling Communist government of the state lead by EMS Namboodiripad used an iron fist in dealing with the agitation including widespread arrests and police attacks on students throughout the state. However the brave warriors of KSU did not give up and the agitation was a huge success. The government had to relent to the demands of students and allowed travel concessions to students in all buses.
