What is the name of Aditi Mishra’s Political Party

Aditi Mishra Political Career During Her College
In September 2017, during the protests at Banaras Hindu University (BHU), Comrade Aditi, then an undergraduate student, took part in the movement that successfully opposed the undemocratic and patriarchal hostel curfew timings for women.
After joining Pondicherry University in 2018, she actively resisted the growing saffronisation on campus, which began with the installation of banners quoting Hindutva ideologues. Comrade Aditi was among those who participated in the gherao of the Vice Chancellor’s office.
In 2019, when the university administration imposed a steep tuition fee hike across courses, students launched a lockdown of the administrative block. Comrade Aditi played a key role in these demonstrations, protesting the arbitrary fee increase and expressing solidarity with the nationwide anti-CAA movement.
The following year, in 2020, the anti-fee-hike protests intensified, and Aditi’s voice became one of the most prominent in challenging the systemic exclusion of marginalised students.
At present, she is pursuing her PhD at the Centre for Comparative Politics and Political Theory (CCPPT), School of International Studies (SIS), focusing on Gendered Violence and the forms of resistance mounted by women in Uttar Pradesh since 2012.
Aditii Mishra Elected as IC Representative
As a second year PhD student, she was elected as the IC representative and worked to make it accountable and approachable to the student body of JNU.
Aditii Mishra Achievement
Despite the JNU administration’s long tradition of opacity and non accountability in matter of redressal of sexual harassment complaints, the IC representatives including Aditi presented a report of the IC’s functioning and their work during their tenure. Unlike last year, where one of three seats was reserved for a male student representative, the seat can now be contested by a student from any gender identity which is another step forward towards an inclusive gender sensitisation and redressal body.
