Life
Vijoo Krishnan was born to Dr P Krishnan and Shyamala in Karivellur, the land posturing the legacy of peasant movements in Kerala.[13] He spend much of his childhood in Bangalore and got enrolled at St. Joseph's Indian High School. He did his graduation in Political Science from St Joseph's College, Bangalore and joined School of International Studies, JNU for his masters. He completed both his M.Phil and PhD from Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU) with a specialisation in Indian Agrarian Economy.[2][14]
Student Politics
The early encounter of protest politics for Vijoo Krishnan was against the Babri Masjid demolition in 1992 at St Joseph's College of Arts & Science, Bangalore.[15] On 25 August 1996, Krishnan enrolled himself as a member of Students' Federation of India at Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. His active involvement in student politics through left politics made him the Vice President of Jawaharlal Nehru University Students Union (JNUSU) in 1997–98, a seat which was lost to Govind Chandra Mishra from ABVP in the previous year. In 1996-97 JNUSU election Akhil Bharatiya Vidyarthi Parishad won three major central panel seats including vice president, general secretary and joint secretary. Therefore, the victory of Battilal Bairwa (President), Vijoo Krishnan (Vice President) and Naseer Hussain (Joint Secretary) from SFI in 1997-98 was politically important for the left politics in JNU. However, the victory of Jatin Mohanty from ABVP as General Secretary in 1997-98 was still haunting the left politics. A left alliance of SFI-AISF returned to leadership in 1998–99 with Vijoo Krishnan as the president. After amending the JNUSU constitution, during his tenure, first GSCASH (Gender Sensitisation Committee Against Sexual Harassment) was formed.[2][16] This model was later adopter by several universities in India. Thereafter, Vijoo Krishnan was a prominent face of left politics in Delhi. During his tenure the hostel movement forced the administration to rent a hotel outside campus and arrange the transit to university.[16] The training of marginalised students for JNU entrance examination inside campus was also initiated during his term as JNUSU president.[16] By 2004, he was elected as both the State President of Delhi and the member of Central Executive Committee of Students' Federation of India (SFI).
