Anti-Ragging Committee

Ragging is defined as any disorderly conduct, whether through spoken or written words or actions, that teases, handles with rudeness, or engages in rowdy or undisciplined activities that cause annoyance, hardship, or psychological harm. Such conduct is aimed at generating fear, shame, or embarrassment in a fresher or junior student, adversely affecting their physical or psychological well-being.

Ragging is a serious crime, and ignorance of the law cannot be claimed as an excuse. In line with the directives of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, those found indulging in ragging face severe punishments, including:

  • Jail sentences ranging from 6 months to 10 years.
  • Fines of up to Rs. 50,000.
  • Embossing of certificates stating that the student engaged in ragging, negatively impacting career prospects and opportunities for studying abroad.

Anti-Ragging Cell and Committee

In compliance with UGC guidelines, Indo-American College has established an Anti-Ragging Cell and constituted committees to monitor student activities within the campus, on college buses, and in hostels. The committees meet periodically to review incidents, monitor student interactions, and take preventive measures against ragging.

Preventive Measures

  • A seminar is organized annually for first-year students to educate them about the dangers of ragging and how to handle situations involving harassment. The seminar covers topics such as emotional intelligence, appropriate responses, and the steps to take if confronted with ragging.
  • Indo-American College proudly maintains a ragging-free campus. Notice boards displaying the names and contact numbers of Anti-Ragging Committee members are prominently placed around the campus. Circulars are regularly distributed to classrooms, reminding students of the severe consequences of engaging in ragging.

Reporting Mechanism

Students who witness any ragging incidents, whether on campus, in college buses, or in hostels, are encouraged to report them to the designated committee members. The identity of informants is kept strictly confidential to ensure their safety and security.

Surveillance and Monitoring

  • Staff members are strategically deployed during pre-college hours, intervals, and lunch breaks to monitor student activities.
  • CCTV cameras have been installed in vulnerable areas across the campus to enhance surveillance and deter any form of ragging.

Indo-American College remains committed to maintaining a safe and supportive environment for all students, ensuring that every student can pursue their education free from fear and intimidation.
