PROPOSED REVIVAL OF STUDENTS UNIONS IN PAKISTAN
This Discussion Paper has been prepared to promote a frank, informed and productive discourse on the question of an orderly revival of Students’ Union in Pakistan after a ban of almost 24 years. We hope that this paper will be helpful in provoking useful discussion on some of the questions that need to be answered before a plan for the revival is agreed. We also hope that this document will serve as a primary tool of initiating the discourse at the Consultative Sessions planned by PILDAT on the subject in various cities. August 2008
