*Danish Somani*

Hello UWS family,
My name is Danish Somani an International student from India and I am 25 years old. I am currently pursuing Master in Public Administration from UWS, London campus and i am running for the post of President in the upcoming elections. I have previously done Bachelors in Commerce and Bachelors in Law. Today at UWS, I am here to explore the unexplored, learn and socialise. Ups and downs and failures have made me a man with stronger intellect and embedded prominent qualities such as emotional intelligence, patience, self- confidence, ability to move out of comfort zone and being an optimist.

*Past Experience*
I have been part of the various organisations back in India. I have worked for the one of the largest network in AGA KHAN DEVELOPMENT NETWORK in various sector of Sports, Education, Social Welfare, Health, Bharat Scouts and guides. I have been the committee member, convener and captain for the Bharat scouts and guide for 6 consecutive years. Although, I have been part of the NGO - "Izhaar - An Expression".

*My UWS Experience*

During the first week of the university, I had to go through difficulties in finding accommodation and maintaining hygiene food and also coping up with studies at the same time. It also took me a while to understand the system but hopefully I covered up as quickly as possible. Hence I prepared my manifesto after going through intensive research on students and collecting the feedback and problems they faced. The demographics of the research includes diverse student base. Therefore, the manifesto prepared by me is not be considered as my one-sided opinion rather than it is your manifesto, it is every student’s manifesto.

What I will do after winning elections!

• I will be the voice of each and every student and make sure everyone’s voice is heard to all the academic level’s.
• Step up a stall or friendly interactions meet up in person to discus the issues.
• I will bring structure to make our classrooms easily accessible to disabled students.
• I will conduct job fair events for all the students in order to place them in a job after studies and also provide an opportunity for internships and part – time jobs.
• Extra one  - hour class tutorial classes to be conducted where there shall be no teaching but only to clarify academic doubts and assignments.
• Conducting more social events in and around the campus.
• To well maintain university-run accomadations and a special focus on rents and other charges. Private accommodations will be brought under one roof.
