Its been a long time since i posted last. When i started making this website i was very confused about what should i write apart from the college fests of IIT Kanpur. So here is my another post about the Students Gymkhana of IIT Kanpur.
Gymkhana of any college is the most important body for students affairs.But in iits this student council called the gymkhana and is very elite body which comprises of certain categories like technical and cultural fields. There exists a Student Senate in which all the decisions are made about the various students activities like college festivals and division of funds among the various councils of students gymkhana.The students gymkhana of iit kanpur comprises of mainly:
The presidents are generally under graduate students and third yearites.They all elected directly by all the students of iit kanpur from ug, pg and phd students. These elected members attend the meetings of students senate and pass the bill according to their discretionary.
The elections takes place just like the legislative ones. The nominated members get their manifestos printed and the campaigning is done. The nominated comes to every wing of the hostels and give ten minutes lecture about the pros and cons of the earlier gymkhana and blah blah. An election committee is designed to conduct the elections smoothly.It consists of 15-20 members which monitors all the activities prior to the conduction of elections. The election commissioner has the right to impose fine on a nominated member if the fellow is found to do anti-campaigning.
This year a new bill was passed named "no-preference vote". According to this bill, if suppose two candidates are contesting for sports council then you have a choice to vote either of them or you can cast your no preference vote. If the total number of votes for no preference exceeds the votes in favor of either of the candidates then a third member will contest for the sports council but not the other two.
The votes are casted on the piece of paper just like the legislative elections and dropped in the box located in a isolated room. If you cast two votes then the vote is countable. Some funds are also allowed to the nominated member for the printing of manifestos.
The various post of student gymkhana's were occupied by following:
