The Kerala Students Union (abbreviated KSU) is a students organization in Kerala, India. It functions as the student wing of the Indian National Congress.
KSU was founded in 1957 at Alappuzha, with M. A. John [1][2][3][4] as its main organiser and Vayalar Ravi founding general secretary.[5][6][7][8] The original group consisted of M. A. John, Vayalar Ravi, George Tharakan and A. A. Samad. It functioned as the student wing of the Pradesh Congress Committee.[5] While Ravi was the President, KSU took a leading role in the opposition campaign against the communist state government.[9][10] KSU sought to challenge the near-monopoly of the communist-led All India Students Federation over campus politics at the time.[11] KSU played a key role in the movement that toppled the communist state government. Under the Presidency of K.M. Abhijith, KSU raised a strong protest against the PSC examination scandal involving SFI leaders from University College, and initiated the re-establishment of KSU Unit there under the leadership of Amal Chandra after a gap of almost 20 years.
