All National Free Students' Union-History ::::::

1965 saw another yet historic Conference. This Conference filled the ever-felt lack of organisation. Later, it is being regarded, as the first national conference of the ANNFSU though is not called so in the conference itself. Following the conference, the progressive, democratic and patriotic students engaged themselves in pamphleteering, posturing and demonstrating in support of the national liberation struggle of the Vietnamese, Cambodian and Laotian people against US imperialism.

The first conference nominated Mr. Atmaram Kharel as the convenor for the second national conference that was successfully held in May 1968 in Kirtipur. The general body of the conference formally announced the All Nepal National Free Students' Union. The reactionaries' attempts to fail the conference did not succeed. Then came a series of students struggle led by ANNFSU concerning rights and well being of the students and various national and international questions. These include the struggle against the Indian expansionism for their encroachment upon Nepalese territory Susta and Maheshpur (1968).

Under the dynamic leadership of the ANNFSU, Nepalese student waged the movement against unequal trade and transit treaty with India; the movement against the stationing of the band of armed Khampas in the country; the movement to oppose the government atrocities against the landless people being settle in the Jhoras forest areas.

On June 1969 the third national conference of ANNFSU was successfully held in Okubahal, Lalitpur. This conference passed a progressive constitution. It firmly upheld the line that ANNFSU would be built as a common, free, democratic organization of all the progressive, democratic and patriotic students without any prejudice to any political groups. As differences arose as to whether this conference be regarded as second or third on, a commission was set up to iron out the difference with Mr. Mohan Chandra Adhikari, Mr. Siddhi Lal Shrestha, Khadga Bahadur Chetry, Mr. Nirmal Aryal and one other as the members. The commission decided to regard it as the third conference. The struggles launched there after including the movement against the soaring prices (1969), the demonstration against the visit by the US Vice president Spiro T. Agnew (1970), the struggle against the colonial "New education system plan" in which Kamesor and Kusesor laid down their lives.

Leading various students' movements ANNFSU constantly gained maturity and thus became the symbol of struggle and unity of progressive, democratic and patriotic students reaffirming the values and policies of the third conference ANNFSU successfully held its fourth conference in 1973 in Lalitpur.

After the conference, again came the wave of passivity, and differences among the leaders, which resulted in the weakening of the organisation. Using this opportunity the reactionary Government imposed ban on free organization. Efforts were continued to carry on the students' movement locally in the name of ANNFSU and other underground student organisations of the progressive students. Even in this state of student organization the progressive, democratic and patriotic students all over the country held demonstrations against annexation of Sikkim to Indian Union in 1975, thus upholding the tradition of opposing imperialism and expansionism.
