Anti Ragging Cell

Attention of Students/Parents/Guardians is drawn to the fact that Ragging in any form is a punishable offence and that the same has been banned by the Supreme Court.

Ragging means 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, or indulging in rowdy or undisciplined activities by any student or students which causes or is likely to cause annoyance, hardship or psychological harm or to raise fear or apprehension thereof in any fresher or any other student, or asking any student to do any act which such student will not in the ordinary course do and which has the effect of causing or generating a sense of shame or torment or embarrassment so as to adversely affect the physique or psyche of such fresher or any other student, with or without intent to derive a sadistic pleasure or showing off power, authority or superiority by a student over any fresher or any other student.

Punishable ingredients of Ragging include abetment to ragging; criminal conspiracy to rag; unlawful assembly and rioting while ragging; public nuisance created during ragging; violation of decency and morals through ragging; injury to body, causing hurt or grievous hurt; wrongful restraint/confinement; use of criminal force; assault as well as sexual/unnatural offences; extortion; criminal trespass; offences against property; criminal intimidation; physical or psychological humiliation; attempts to commit/threat to commit any or all of the above mentioned offences against the victim(s); all other offences following from the definition of “Ragging.”
