International Students day
The date of 17th November was chosen to be the International Students' Day due to the events that unfolded in Prague during World War II. Nine students were executed without trail in concentration camps on the 17th November 1939. Nowadays, November 17 marks a celebration of multiculturalism of international students. Understanding the history of world politics, "Students are the carriers of change" Students have become examples of great political, social and economic change. Every year on the 17th of November, World Student Day is celebrated around the world in a deeply non-political and multi-cultural way.

Today is the day that Nazi soldier's assassination and arrest of students at various universities in the Czech Republic in 1939, and the student's martyrdom, remembering the incident entire global community commemorates this day.

In Nepal too, the participation of students in various stages of movement and transformational steps is very important, The great politicians of the country have learned the virtues of politics by participating in the student movement since their student days. There are both good and bad sides to student politics. It is important to be independent, impartial and neutral in acquiring education.
