CHAPTER10: ANTI RAGGING GUIDELINES

As per the judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court “ragging shall be construed as an act of sadistic pleasure or showing off power, authority or superiority by senior students over their juniors or freshers”.

Ragging in any form - teasing physically, psychologically or by spoken or written words- is absolutely prohibited in the University campus and hostels. If any incident of ragging comes to the notice of the authority, the concern students shall be given liberty to explain to the Proctorial and if his/her explanation is not found satisfactory, the authority would rusticate him/her from the university. However, in compliance with the recent instruction by the Hon’ble Supreme Court, once a student was found prima facie involved in ragging he/she would be immediately suspended from the university and hostel and the matter will mandatorily be reported to the police and criminal law set into motion.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS IN REGARD TO DON’TS

What amounts to ragging? Any action by a senior individually or in group that may cause a fresher/ junior any sort of physical, mental or psychological discomfort. A student must desist from following actions:

Forced activity 1. Physical abuse – forcing to eat, drink, smoke, dress or undress.

2. Verbal abuse- asking to swear words and phrases, to make direct or indirect derogatory references to someone’s appearance, attire, religion, cast, family, etc.

3. Pressuring junior/fresher for singing, dancing, reading or browsing pornographic/ objectionable materials or asking to interact with strangers particularly of opposite sex or performing in any other way such as forcing to use foul language or shouting or cheering in any event.

4. Asking juniors for copying notes or assignments, cleaning rooms or cloths etc.

5. Visiting fresher’s room or inviting fresher to visit one’s room for interaction without the knowledge of hostel official.

6. Involving fresher to singing, dancing, mimickering or performing in any way under the guise of talent search or interaction.

Activity related to Lifestyle 1. Compelling fresher to interact in a particular fashion e.g. asking to address a senior sir or

Ma’am.

2. Imposing certain kinds of dress on fresher or not permitting some specific or accessories such as jeans, belts etc.

3. Enforcing rules regarding hairstyle, shaving or oiling hair.

4. Restricting fresher access to certain parts of the hostel e.g. common room etc.

Page 41: PhD Prospectus 2013 14

39

Playing of mind games which invariably include a particular form of interaction in which a senior or a group of seniors manipulates the conversation so as to humiliate the fresher or make him/her feel stupid or insecure or threatened is strictly prohibited.

However friendly interaction by seniors with freshers which facilitates academic ambience inside hostel and in academic premises is highly appreciated.

MEASURES ADOPTED TO CURB RAGGING University has an elaborate mechanism to tackle the problem of ragging and remain successful in making the campus ragging free. The mechanism and measures adopted are briefly given below:

1. Escort teams to accompany students All fresher are escorted from hostel to teaching blocks and back to the hostel under the supervision of escort teams consisting mostly of technical staff three times every working day – at the start of the first class, lunch, and at the end of the last class.

There is special escort team consisting of lady staff under the supervision of hostel matron to escort girl students from girls’ hostel to teaching blocks and back.

The mechanism remains operational continually.

Proctorial team § A Proctorial team consisting of faculty from different departments remains vigilant in various

teaching blocks with two fold objectives – to prevent any kind of ragging and interact with the senior students to help curb ragging and report the matter to the Proctor.

§ Surprise inspection team 7 teams comprising of senior faculty members are in place to make surprise check in hostels on each day of the week.

2. Raiding teams in hostels To ward off ragging in hostels anti ragging group each consisting of two faculty members remains always present in hostel premises on roaster basis during 5 pm till 12 night. This mechanism remains operational continually for two months. Its continuation is again reviewed and decision taken accordingly.

In addition to this hostel personnel remain round the clock vigilant, and particularly after 12:00 in the night, in the supervision of the hostel warden.

3. Orientation and Counseling § At the outset we arrange an orientation programme for newly admitted students along with

their parents to apprise them about the university, teaching departments and the anti-ragging mechanism in place.

§ All the newly admitted students are divided into groups and each group is attached with a faculty counselor who acts as local guardian and career guide throughout their stay in the university.

§ The chief warden along with proctor and wardens arrange meeting with senior students in respective hostels and apprise them of the Supreme Court’s views and decision in regard to ragging and of the seriousness we attach to this menace.

Page 42: PhD Prospectus 2013 14

40

§ A team especially formed under the supervision of Dean Students Welfare carries out anti-ragging campaign inside university campus through banners. Posters in the campus and by organizing awareness programmes in academic premises.

§ A special team consisting of Chief Warden, Medical Officer and Lady Medical Officer of the University and the specialist (s) engaged for the purpose.

Further an Advisory Committee on Ragging is in place. It consists of senior faculty members of the University, representative of stakeholders and district administration (Civil and Police).
