Sustained Struggle Against UPSC's Discriminatory Policies: Over the past year, JNUSU has organized several protest actions against UPSC's discriminatory decision of scrapping Classical and 'Foreign' languages like Arabic and Persian, French, German, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese etc. from the UPSC syllabus.

Defending JNU's Socially Sensitive Shop Allotment Policy: Throughout the year, we have repeatedly protested against and stalled the JNU administration's moves to tamper with JNU's existing socially sensitive and inclusive shop allotment policy. We have ensured that the JNU administration, till date, has not been able to bring in the 'highest bidder' policy in JNU. Even as the JNU administration tried to evict some of the existing shop owners in JNU based on some technicality, JNUSU has resisted these moves and evolved an alternative policy after discussions with the student community to address all our concerns. .
Rejection of Forced Imposition of Hindi in Administrative Forms in JNU: JNUSU also strongly resisted all attempts of the JNU administration to print administrative forms (such as the mess rebate forms issued by the IHA) only in Hindi.

Responding to the Critical Social Political Challenges In JNU, we have always proudly held aloft a model that bridges JNU with the ongoing struggles outside, that refuses to accept JNU as an island, isolated from the social and economic realities being constructed by the powers-that-be. During 2013-14 too, JNUSU has carried forward this glorious tradition. Immediately after being elected in September 2013, JNUSU ran a sustained campaign for justice for the Muzafsfarnagar riot victims, organising fact-finding teams, collecting funds and relief material for rehabilitation and legal aid . In September, on the eve of Modi's first election rally in Delhi, JNUSU along with JNUTA led a 'Citizens' March for Secularism' in the clty, in defence of secularism and demanding justice for the Muzaffarnagar communal riot victims. .

When a fire broke out and destroyed a slum near JNU in Vasant Kunj, JNUSU organised a fund collection to help with the relief and rehabilitation. .
President Pranab Mukherjee's visit to JNU was protested by JNUSU, raising questions regarding the acquittal of perpetrators of the Bathani Tala-Bathe massacre, forced and undemocratic imposition of FYUP in DU (where the President is a Visitor), regarding continuing denial of justice and rights to the Muzaffarnagar riot victims and against the execution of Afzal Guru, thus demanding accountability from the highest office of the land. .
