The Scientific Socialist Student Union Nepal (SSSUN) is a student union in Nepal which was founded in 2018. The union aims to establish a scientific socialist education system. This student union is composed of individuals who advocate for students' rights and interests, as well as support the socialist transformation of the education system.

History

[edit]

The union’s first meeting was held on 13th February 2021, where it was decided that the First National Gathering would be held on 12th and 13th March of that year. A 61-member organizing committee, led by Rajeshwari Subedi, was formed to prepare for the event. The gathering emphasized the role of students in promoting a scientific socialist system and resulted in the formation of a 41-member central committee under Subedi's coordination.[1]In January 2023, at its third regular meeting in Kathmandu, the union bid farewell to Subedi as coordinator. The second national gathering was planned to be held in June 2023, for which a 35-member organizing committee led by Karan B.C. was formed.[2]However the gathering was postponed to March 2024. At the gathering, a new 25-member central committee was elected, with Himanshu as president, Phoolmati as vice president, Hyal Tamang as general secretary, Shamsher as secretary, and Liza Tamang as treasurer.
