Anti- Ragging Committee


Introduction

Organizations should create an Anti-Ragging Cell to make sure students have a safe environment to work in. Compliance of the guidelines of UGC, which is modified as UGC regulations on curbing the menace of ragging in higher educational institutions, 2009 is compulsory. The establishment of an anti-ragging cell should be mandatory to prevent incidents like these from happening again, effectively eradicating this menace for good.

 

Objectives of Anti Ragging Committee

The Anti-Ragging Committee has been formed to ensure there is no ragging whatsoever on the college campus. They will act as a monitoring entity & guide the students to maintain a ragging-free culture. The main objectives of this committee are as follows:

1.      The Anti-Ragging Committee will be involved in designing strategies and action points for stopping the menace of ragging.

2.      We aim to adopt a wide range of activities.

3.      To make students aware of the dehumanizing effect that ragging has, by illustrating its perversity.

4.      In order to do so, we plan to keep a watchful eye over known dangers and vigilant vigil against any recurrence.

5.      To generate an atmosphere of discipline by sending a clear message that no act of ragging will be tolerated and any act of ragging will not go unnoticed and unpunished.

6.      Promptly and stringently deal with the incidents of ragging brought to our notice.

 

Functions of Committee /Roll and responsibilities

1)      The Anti-Ragging Committee needs to look into the student's grievances and take an investigation of the same. Upon completion, a report should be presented to them with proposed penalties for anyone found guilty.
