What is ragging
Ragging means any act that causes, or is likely to cause, physical or psychological harm or fear to a student, or that forces a student to do something he or she would not normally do. This includes teasing, abuse, humiliation, forced tasks, and violence. Consent of the student is not a defence.
Consequences
Under the UGC regulations on curbing the menace of ragging and the rules of the National Medical Commission, ragging can lead to action such as suspension, cancellation of admission, expulsion and a police complaint under criminal law. The institution acts against anyone who takes part in or helps ragging, and also against anyone who fails to report it.
Affidavit
Students and their parents or guardians are required to submit an anti-ragging undertaking at admission through the national portal, www.antiragging.in.
