Aryan Mann has scored a major victory in Delhi University politics, being elected president of the Delhi University Students' Union (DUSU) 2025. Representing the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP), the student wing of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Mann's victory reflects both his grassroots connections and the ABVP's organizational strength on campus. His journey from Bahadurgarh in Haryana to the capital's premier university system underscores the diverse social and academic backgrounds that shape Delhi University's leadership.
Who is Aryan Maan?
Aryan Mann is from Bahadurgarh, Haryana, and a student at the Department of Library Science at Delhi University. This year, his campaign focused on student issues, including discounted metro passes, free Wi-Fi on campus, accessibility audits, and improved sports facilities.
He is a national-level football player and a state executive member of the Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad (ABVP). According to reports, he has been actively involved in ABVP-led student movements, including strikes against fee hikes and demands for better infrastructure on campuses.
His ballot paper number in the election was 3 and celebrities like Sanjay Dutt and Randeep Hooda also campaigned for him. During the campaign, Mann had told PTI, "DU students have always trusted the able leadership of ABVP. This year, we are committed to ensuring adequate sports facilities and nutrition, accessibility audit of the campus for students with special needs and free Wi-Fi facility across DU."
