" Harmony in Diversity, Say No to Ragging Adversity! "

About the Act

In the context of ragging in educational institutions in India, the Indian Constitution and various acts emphasize the importance of creating a safe and conducive learning environment, free from any form of harassment or violence. The Constitution of India, under Article 21, guarantees the right to life and personal liberty, and the right to live with dignity. Ragging is considered a violation of these fundamental rights.

To specifically address the issue of ragging, the University Grants Commission (UGC) of India has issued regulations and guidelines to curb ragging in higher educational institutions. The UGC Regulations on Curbing the Menace of Ragging in Higher Educational Institutions, 2009, outline stringent measures to prevent and prohibit ragging on campuses. These regulations define ragging and prescribe penalties, including fines, expulsion, and even imprisonment for those found guilty.

Additionally, individual states in India may have their own anti-ragging laws and guidelines to complement the national efforts. The aim is to foster a healthy and positive learning environment that promotes mutual respect among students and ensures their physical and mental well-being.
