Three Women in Top Positions in PUSU Make History

For the first time,  three Women won top positions in the newly formed student council of Patna University. In the results declared on Saturday, ABVP’s  Maithily Mrinalini got elected as the Patna University Student Union (PUSU) president, while an independent candidate, Saloni Raj, was elected as the general secretary. Raj’s victory also marks the first time in PUSU history that an independent woman candidate has been elected to the general secretary post. National Student Union of India’s (NSUI) Soumya Srivastava became the treasurer.
“It is really a great honour… Also, history has been made with women. Women winning three top positions for the first time,” said Maithily, who has become the first woman president of Patna University. She defeated NSUI candidate Manoranjan Raja by 603 votes.

Promises to Voters

The new woman president listed ‘five Ps’ as her top priorities after coming to power: Pravesh (entrance test), Pariksha (examination), Pathyakram (syllabus), Parisar (campus), and Parinam (result). These five Ps will ensure quality education inside Patna University, according to the woman president. During her campaigning, Maithily also demanded a functioning sanitary napkin vending machine to be set up on campus. Other promises to voters include ensuring enough hostels for students and placement in coordination with the administration.
Maithili hails from Munger and is a third-year BA political science student at Patna Women’s College. She has completed her early education in good schools in Patna and Rajasthan.
