After Partition
During the communal riots and mass migrations at the time of India's partition, the AISSF helped organise relief and rehabilitation camps for Hindu and Sikh refugees arriving in India from Pakistan. In independent India, the AISSF became closely linked as the youth arm of the Akali Dal. The federation would expand its organisation across India and become one of the nation's leading student political organisations. It would also help build support and lead the Sikh political demand for the establishment of a Sikh-majority state within the Indian union. As the agitation reached its peak in the mid-1960s, the federation helped organise student marches and rallies to increase pressure on the Indian government. Bhai Daljeet Singh Bittu was elected at president of SSF.
After Operation Blue Star in June 1984, the organization temporarily removed the words "All India" from its name, and was known as Sikh Students Federation (SSF) for some time.
Sikh Students Federation was reorganized in 2001 and Sewak Singh, a Student from Punjabi University was elected as President. After Sewak Singh, Mandhir Singh headed the organization till 2007 January. Later Parmjeet Singh alias Gazi became the President of the organization.
As of 2012, Karnail Singh Peer Mohammad is the president of All India Sikhs Students Federation. The organization is aimed at demanding justice for the victims of the 1984 massacre of Sikhs, and also focuses on other issues facing the Sikh community.
