"Educational Awareness For Social Change"

Student community is the most conscious, reliable and advanced force for social transformation movement. Mobility, creativity and activity are the identities of students in the world. Always striving against the status-quo position of society, student force seems at the forefront of social movements in any part of the world. In the absence of the students' community the course of social transformation would not be complete.

Therefore, to fulfil this genuine responsibility to society, student force should be mentally and physically sound. Only highly educated force can lead the society toward the social progress and spread the educational light in to the backward and illiterate society. That is why; ANNFSU has determined its main aim, "Educational Awareness for Social Change". All our movements are directed for the fulfilment of this main aim.
 

FOUR MOVEMENTS OF ANNFSU

 MOVEMENT FOR EDUCATIONAL AWARENESS:

Education is key base for the national development, social transformation and progress. We are standing on the complicated ground of 21st century that characterises the scientific efforts of man, manifests the broadening of knowledge and the acceleration of technological revolution.

However, 60% of the total population in our country is still illiterate. Only limited individuals of the society have the opportunity of education. Because of anti-public educational policy, most of the educational institutions are being privatised and commercialised with the direct intervention of World Bank, International Monetary Fund (IMF). AS a result, expensive education, inconsistencies and distortions in educational sector and unemployment are in the increasing trend.

ANNFSU advocates that the existing neo-colonial and traditional education should be replaced by scientific, vocational and people's education. ANNFSU has continuously mobilised the student force itself to abolish all the absurdities seen in educational field since its establishment.

In the course of educational awareness movement, ANNFSU has waved the flag of popular slogan, "Educational Awareness for Social Change, Overall Educational Movement for Educational Awareness, A Students-based Large and Strong Union for Overall Educational Movement".

ANNFSU is still continuing the educational struggle, which consist of 46 demands tabulated to the government. ANNFSU has been wagging the student's movement by different forms of struggle like strikes, mass rallies, picketing, lockouts, and hunger strike.


 MOVEMENT FOR THE SOCIO-POLITICAL CONSCIOUSNESS:

Sound political situation is important factor for the fulfilment of educational problems. ANNFSU believes only the people's government and party can lead the development process in different sectors of country. So, ANNFSU has been raising its flag for democracy, social justice and human rights since its establishment.

Nepalese students launched the ever first organised struggle in 1947 to dethrone the Rana autocracy-demanding student's rights and modern educational system. As a result of tireless struggle, the tyrannical Rana Regime was overthrown in the year 1950 and multi- party democracy was established. But in 1960 the late king Mahendra dissolved the elected parliament and introduced a one party Panchayat system. Meanwhile, ANNFSU provided active leadership to the movement of 1979 against autocratic party less Panchayat system and has paid a decisive role in 1990 people's movement that overthrew the autocratic Panchayat system and restored the multi-party democracy.

Because of semi-feudal and semi-colonial situation, there are lot of distortions and inconsistencies in the Nepalese society. Corruption, commission, criminalization in politics, human trafficking etc. have been the common events in Nepalese society. ANNFSU has always opposed these types evils in the society. ANNFSU has been launching its well-organized campaign for political and social consciousness since its establishment.


 MOVEMENT FOR NATIONALITY:

Nepal has been a victim of foreign domination since the Sugauli Treaty in 1816. Her southern neighbor India has been treating her in such a way that the Nepal's independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity are virtually questioned. The unequal treaty of 1950 is still imposed on Nepal despite Nepal's attempts to review it. Indian army has encroached upon the Nepali territory at Kalapani of Mahakali Zone since 1962. ANNFSU has strongly protested the improper treatment of India and its ill intention of controlling of Nepalese natural resources. We say the 1950 treaty should be revised as it is against Nepal's independence, sovereignty and national interest. The Indian army should be removed from Kalapani and Indo- Nepal border should be marked on the basis of historical evidences. Indian encroachment in places like Pasupati Nagar must be stopped and Nepal's territory must be returned back. In this way ANNFSU has been wagging a lifetime struggle against hegemonies in the favor of national independence, sovereignty and territorial integrity. Many cadres of ANNFSU have sacrificed their life on the movement of nationalism.

On the other hand, ANNFSU has committed to preserve the national unity of the nationalities, languages, religions and cultures in Nepal. The main aspect of the movement being led by ANNFSU is to establish the Nepalese nation as a free, sovereign and prosperous country. In this way ANNFSU is always in the favor of nationality and national interest.


 MOVEMENT OF CREATIVE ACTIVITIES:
 T

Social and creative activities are the inalienable parts of ANNFSU. It has been carrying on creative activities for intellectual and physical development of student community. And the creativity is also regarded as basic rights of the students. For the preservation of this rights, ANNFSU often conducts different program such as distribution of relief materials to the victims of natural disaster, construction of the library, rest-house, roads, buildings, organizing the health camps, literacy campaign, plantation, blood donations, cleaning campaign, conducting sport, quiz, poems, essays, story competition, cultural programs, arrange the study tours, exchange programs, publications of newsletter, environment campaign etc. These creative activities are become major responsibility of ANNFSU.
