Anti-Ragging Cell
Ragging as a Crime :
UGC has framed regulations notified “Regulations on Curbing the Menace of Ragging in Higher Education Institutions, 2009” to prohibit, prevent and eliminate the scourge of ragging.
The legal definition of Ragging :
In common parlance, ragging means playing practical jokes on somebody or teaching someone a lesson. The Hon’ble Supreme Court of India perhaps has given a more comprehensive meaning of ragging as under:
"Ragging is 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 student, indulging in rowdy or indisciplined activities which cause or are likely to cause annoyance, hardship or psychological harm or to raise fear or apprehension thereof in a fresher or a junior student and which has the effect of causing or generating a sense of shame or embarrassment so as to adversely affect the psyche of a fresher or a junior student."
