# Justice Morcha in UP; DUSU polls set for Sep 18 2026-08-13T03:33:37+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 2 independent outlets Student groups in Uttar Pradesh have launched the ‘Justice Morcha’ and a 50-day campaign starting August 12, with a cycle march from Gorakhpur to Lucknow and meetings at 800 colleges. They demand an annual recruitment calendar, scrapping of NEP 2020, disbanding of the NTA, and filling of all vacant government posts. The campaign follows a 36-day protest at Delhi’s Jantar Mantar that ended with the resignation of former Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan, reports Hindustan Times. Meanwhile, Delhi University has announced that DUSU elections for the 2026-27 session will be held on September 18, with counting the next day. Student organisations say issues raised at the Jantar Mantar protests, affordability, exam irregularities, and metro concessions, will dominate the campaign. Left groups hope to form an alliance, while ABVP and NSUI are finalising their strategies. The polls will test whether recent mobilisation translates into votes. ## Coverage - hindustantimes.com - siasat.com Tags: education reforms, Justice Morcha, NEP 2020, recruitment exams, unemployment, UP youth politics Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/up-youth-groups-launch-50-day-campaign-for-education-jobs/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
