The Students’ Federation of India (SFI) is a Marxist organization. It is the student wing of the Communist Party of India (Marxist). The slogan of the SFI is “Independence, Democracy, and Socialism!”
The SFI believes that education is a major tool of social transformation and that this concept is especially relevant in a country like India, where regressive forces still prevail. Proper education, they believe, will counteract such forces and will help to build a new society based on rationality and justice. The SFI is an organization of students which is ever aware of its role in society. It identifies with a society's progressive forces and is totally committed to the idea of independence, democracy, and socialism.
