Upholding the legacy of the organised student movement since 1936.
The Students' Federation of India was founded at its first All India Conference in Thiruvananthapuram, held from 27 to 30 December 1970 — uniting student organisations that wanted militant, principled politics rooted in students' own issues.
More than five decades on, SFI is the largest student organisation in the country — a major force in Kerala and West Bengal and present on campuses nationwide. Its work flows from one idea: education is a right, and students have the power to defend it.
An education system free from commercialisation and outside control — knowledge that serves people, not profit.
Active students' unions, free expression, and a real voice for students in every decision that shapes their campus.
A scientific, secular, democratic education — and equality of opportunity for every student, whoever they are.
The All India Students' Federation is formed to further anti-imperialist student politics.
First All India Conference, Thiruvananthapuram, 27–30 December — the birth of SFI.
SFI grows into the country's largest student organisation, strongest in Kerala & West Bengal.
