The National Students' Union of India (NSUI) has made a significant appeal to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging the commemoration of late former Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh by naming a college within the University of Delhi in his honor. This request follows the announcement of a college to be named after Veer Savarkar.

NSUI emphasized Dr. Singh's profound impact on education, citing his pivotal role in establishing Central Universities, IITs, IIMs, and AIIMS, which significantly transformed India's education landscape. The union has pointed out his monumental contributions that revolutionized the nation's educational system.

The advocacy for Dr. Singh's legacy extends beyond a university's name; NSUI is pushing for the inclusion of his life story in curricula. They propose recognizing his journey from a partition-era student to a global icon, which would inspire future generations and honor his dedication to public welfare.
