Ragging is a criminal offence under Indian law. Those found guilty may face severe consequences, including imprisonment, fines, and expulsion from the institution.
As per the notification in regard to prevention and prohibition of ragging in the University and UGC Act, the committee has been constituted to prohibit, prevent and eliminate the scourge of ragging, including 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.
The committee also addresses unfair means or undisciplined activities by any student or students which cause or are likely to cause annoyance, hardship, psychological harm, fear or apprehension.
Ragging is totally banned in the College and anyone found guilty of ragging and/or abetting ragging is liable to be punished, as it is a criminal offence.
In light of the provisions laid down in the UGC Regulations on Curbing the Menace of Ragging in Higher Educational Institutions, 2009, the Anti-Ragging Committee is constituted to ensure effective prevention, monitoring and redressal of ragging-related incidents.
