UGC Guidelines regarding Anti Ragging Documentation

  1. It is mandatory for every student and his/her parents to submit an anti ragging affidavit at the time of first admission and there after each year at the time of annual registration. These are UGC’s regulations.
  2. It is the order of the Hon. Supreme Court that contact details of a students must be collected from these affidavits and stored electronically at a central location.
  3. Until now each college collected such information. But it was not stored in any central location. But this year the Ragging Prevention Program developed an ON LINE procedure for downloading anti ragging affidavits. As a result, college authorities do not have to collect information separately and compile it. It will save a lot of their time and energy. 

How ?

Why does ragging still exist ?

Ans: a) Earlier, public opinion against ragging was not as strong as it is now. b) It was not clearly defined what ragging is C) Earlier, the concern was limited to violent form of ragging and other forms were considered tolerable, even desirable. This is not the case now.

What is “zero tolerance” policy?

Ans. No act of ragging major or minor, shall go unnoticed. No ragger, male or female, student or non-student, shall go unpunished. No institution that fails to take action against ragging shall be allowed to operate. 

Who will implement this policy ?

Ans : Everyone concerned, specially: 1. The heads of the educational institutions. 2. The state Government, through Divisional Commissioners. 3. The opinion makers. 

How can we exterminate this evil practice?

Ans : By exercise of the disciplinary authority of the teachers over the students and of the management of the institutions over the teachers and students. No effort should be made to minimize the number of “reported cases”. Reporting is to be encouraged through all available means. Anti-ragging movement should be initiated by the institutions right from the time of advertisement for admissions. The prospectus, the form for admission and /or any other literature issued to the aspirants for admission must clearly mention that ragging is banned in the institution and anyone indulging in ragging is likely to receive deterrent punishment.
