Sri Gulab Singh Government College in Chakrata is heading towards an uncontested student union election after only one nomination was filed for each of its 6 s. The outcome will become clearer after officials examine the papers on Friday and publish the final list of valid candidates.
The nomination process concluded on Thursday. The current position means there is no contest between multiple candidates for any of s, although the proposed selections are not final until scrutiny is completed.
Candidates nominated for 6 s
The nominees submitted papers for the student union positions are:
- President: Rohit Bharti
- Vice-president: Rohit Arya
- Secretary: Mukesh Bharti
- Joint secretary: Viniya
- Treasurer: Khushi
- University representative: Shekhar Kumar
Chief Election Officer Dr Niranjan Prajapati said students had reached mutual agreement before submitting one nomination for every . He said the scrutiny process would establish the final position.
After the papers are checked, the college will display the final list of valid nominations. If each nomination remains valid and no further change affects the process, all 6 positions will be filled without a contest.
A long-standing college tradition
Sri Gulab Singh Government College was established in 2004-05. Since its early years, students have generally selected representatives through mutual understanding and coordination rather than contested polls.
The college held elections during the 2015-16, 2016-17 and 2017-18 sessions. It has recorded uncontested selections continuously after those sessions, according to the available college history.
The practice is regarded at the college as a sign of cooperation among students and a peaceful campus atmosphere. This year’s single nominations for all 6 s have raised expectations that the tradition will continue.
What happens next
The immediate next step is scrutiny on Friday. The college will then put up the final list of valid nomination papers, providing the formal basis for deciding whether the election will be uncontested.
The nominations alone indicate a consensus among the students for the 6 listed s. However, the final status depends on the outcome of the scrutiny process rather than on the initial filing figures.
Conclusion
With one candidate named for each of the 6 s, Chakrata college is likely to see another uncontested student union election, pending Friday’s scrutiny and publication of valid nominations.
