Anti Ragging
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 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.
Other organisations/bodies working in this field have also attempted to define ragging, the variety of definitions being reflective of differences in perspective.
As per the order of Hon’ble Supreme Court RAGGING is strictly prohibited within and outside the institution.
It has been intimated to all the Nursing / Paramedical Colleges through a previous letter from U .P. State Medical Faculty office and for events related to ragging within or outside the campus.
Principal, administration / management will be held responsible.
