The core of success of democratic government rests upon the extent of people participation, involvement of organizations and pressure groups, including students’ organisations in government machinery. But a research gap is found regarding students involvement in politics from the perspectives of community perception. The present investigation has made an attempt to ascertain the community perception towards students’ involvement in politics. Data was collected from a sample of 200 community people including students, teachers, other professional persons, common people and political party people. The study found that attitudes of the majority of students and political party people towards students’ involvement in politics are positive and significant; while the attitudes of the teachers, other professional persons and common people are unfavourable towards the same. There is no significant difference between male and female respondents, teachers and other professional persons, and common people and political party people in respect to their attitudes towards students’ involvement in politics. But, a significant difference is found between students and teachers in respect of their attitudes towards students’ involvement in politics.
