Delhi Chakma Students' Union, Est. 1988
We represent and uplift the Chakma community in Delhi through education, culture, and unity.
Since 1988, DCSU has been looking out for Chakma students in Delhi, whether it's about academics, social issues, or keeping our culture alive.
For over three decades, we've been a place where Chakma students can find community. We foster brotherhood, keep our heritage alive through Alam weaving, Bijhu festivals, and the Chakma script, and help shape future leaders.
From the hills of Mizoram, Tripura, and plains of Arunachal Pradesh to the heart of India's capital, DCSU is home for every Chakma student.
