The NSUI’s 54th Foundation Day not only marks over half a century of student advocacy but also heralds a new chapter of expanded support and global presence for the organization. In an unprecedented initiative, the NSUI unveiled “NSUI Overseas,” dedicated to supporting the Indian student diaspora pursuing academics abroad.
