Anti Ragging

Zero tolerance

Ragging is prohibited

Based on the directions of the Hon’ble Supreme Court, the UGC framed the “UGC Regulations on curbing the menace of ragging in Higher Educational Institutions, 2009”. The aim of the Regulations is to prohibit, prevent and eliminate the scourge of ragging.

Ragging includes any conduct by any student or students, whether by words spoken or written or by an act, which has the effect of teasing, treating or handling with rudeness a fresher or any other student; indulging in rowdy or indisciplined activities which cause or are likely to cause annoyance, hardship or psychological harm, or raise fear or apprehension in any fresher or other student; or asking any student to do any act which such student will not in the ordinary course do and which causes or generates a sense of shame, torment or embarrassment so as to adversely affect the physique or psyche of such fresher or any other student — with or without an intent to derive a sadistic pleasure or to show off power, authority or superiority. The Regulations seek to provide for the healthy development, physically and psychologically, of all students.

Punishment

Any student found to be indulging in one or more of the above activities is liable to be punished. Punishment could include:

• Expulsion from the Institute
• Suspension from the Institute for a limited period
• A fine with a public apology
• Debarring from representation in events
• Withholding of results
• Suspension or expulsion from the hostel or mess
