Ragging is a Crime
Ragging has ruined countless innocent lives and careers. In order to eradicate it, Hon’ble Supreme Court in Civil Appeal No. 887 of 2009, passed the judgement wherein guidelines were issued for setting up of a Central Crisis Hotline and Anti-Ragging database
In accordance with the orders, UGC (University Grants Commission), Govt. of India has developed a web portal.
Web portal will contain
- Undertaking confirmed by each student and his/her parents or guardians, which will then be stored electronically and will contain the details of each student.
- Record of registered complaints received and the status of the action taken.
The aim of the portal is to eliminate ragging in all its forms from universities, deemed universities and other higher educational institutions in the country. This will be achieved by preventing its occurrence and punishing those who indulge in ragging, in accordance with the Supreme Court Regulations.
Establishment of an Anti-Ragging Committee:
The Committee will have the responsibility of ensuring that all students are aware of the consequences of ragging, prevent, prohibit and eliminate the sources of ragging in the institution. It will also be responsible for conducting awareness programs and orientation sessions for new students. It will also monitor direct and oversee the functions and performance of anti-ragging squads.
The Committee will have the power to take any necessary action against those foun
guilty of ragging, including suspension or expulsion from the institution. All student

conducive learning environment.
