Jawaharlal Nehru University is located in New Delhi , the capital of India . Named after Jawaharlal Nehru (the first Prime Minister Of India ), the university is among the premier universities in India in the field of Liberal arts,Languages, Political Science and Economics. The buildings are architecturally distinct and are dominated by a seven storied red-brick library and buildings housing Lecture Hall s around it. It is considered by many to be a bastion of left-wing thought. The JNU Students' Union The Jawaharlal Nehru University Students' Union has traditionally been the leading voice of the Socialist students' movement in India. The JNUSU is the only students' union in the country which has produced two politburo members of the largest communist party in India, the CPI(M) , including its present General Secretary ( Prakash Karat ). The JNUSU has a unique constitution, entirely drafted by the students. The elections to the JNUSU are administered by students as well. During the Emergency, the JNUSU protested Prime Minister Indira Gandhi 's visit to the campus. In recent years, the union's leftist extremisms have been somewhat challenged by a number of electoral victories for the Hindu Nationalist ABVP , which captured the student union presidency by a margin of one vote in 2000, due to the rivalry between the left and the extreme-left. Presently the union is shared between the leftist SFI and the extreme-left AISA Schools # Arts and Aesthetics # Computer and Systems Science s # Environmental Science s # Information Technology # International Studies # Language , Literature and Culture Studies # Life Sciences # Physical Science s # Social Sciences SPECIAL CENTERS #Center for Biotechnology #Special Center for Molecular Medicine #Center for the Study of Law and Governance #Special Center for Sanskrit Studies EXTERNAL LINKS |
