Ragging is a disturbing reality in the higher education system of our country. Despite the fact that over the years ragging has claimed hundreds of innocent lives and has ruined the careers of thousands of bright students, the practice is still perceived by many as a way of ‘familiarization’ and an ‘initiation into the real world’ for young college-going students.
The Supreme Court defined ragging in the Vishwa Jagriti matter (1999) as, "Any disorderly conduct whether by words spoken or written or by an act which has the effect of teasing, treating or handling with rudeness any other student, indulging in rowdy or undisciplined activities which causes or is likely to cause annoyance, hardship or psychological harm or to raise fear or apprehension thereof in a fresher or a junior student or asking the students to do any act or perform something which such student will not in the ordinary course and which has the effect of causing or generating a sense of shame or embarrassment so as to adversely affect the physique or psyche of a fresher or a junior student." ( Raghavan Committee Report, 2007, para. 3.19).
Our college organized a program in connection with Anti-Ragging Day. Advocate Maya V was the guest. She gave us a very nice class. She shared a lot of knowledge about the legal aspects with us. The class was very enjoyable. Everyone liked that advocate very much. They always interacted with us with a smile and with great pride.
College union conducted a poster competition related to Anti-Ragging Day in which natural science team biostar got third position.I also participated in this program and got a certificate for it.
