Anti Ragging Cell


Mandatory reading material for all students of Golden Valley Integrated Campus


The legal definition of ragging is as follows:
‘Ragging’ means the doing of any act which causes, or is likely to cause any physical, psychological or physiological harm of apprehension or shame or embarrassment to a student, and includes
Teasing or abusing of playing Practical joke on, or causing hurt to any student
Asking any student to do any act, or perform any thing, which he/she would not, in the ordinary course, be willing to do or perform
Ragging is different from other crimes because the motive is solely to get perverse pleasure. Ragging is also different from other crimes as it is actively promoted by certain sections of the society

Following types of abuses and activities will be termed as ragging:


Physical abuse, for example, forcing to eat, drink or smoke, forcing to dress or undress
Verbal abuse, for example swear words and phrases, direct or indirect derogatory references to the person’s appearance, attire, religion, caste, family or chosen field of study
Forced activity, for example
Chores for seniors e.g. copying notes, cleaning rooms, etc
Missing classes. Not being allowed to study.
Staying awake late or getting up at unreasonable times
Singing or dancing or performing in any other way
Using foul language or shouting or cheering loudly
Misbehaving with strangers, particularly women
Reading or browsing porno-graphic/objectionable material
Lifestyle restrictions, for example
Not allowing certain kinds of clothing or accessories e.g. jeans, belts etc
Enforcing rules regarding shaving or oiling hair. Forcing certain kinds of dress
Restricting access to parts of the hostel e.g. common room
Requiring certain modes of address i.e. seniors should be called Sir or Ma’am
Requiring a particular wake-up time
Conversational mind-games. Particular forms of interaction in which a senior or set of seniors manipulates the conversation so as to humiliate the first year student or make him/her feel stupid or insecure or generally threatened

Observation and Directives of the Supreme Court:


The Supreme Court of India has observed that enrolment in academic pursuits or a campus life should not immunize any adult citizen from the penal provisions of the laws of the land. According to the directions of the Supreme Court if any instance of ragging is brought to the notice of the administration or the faculty, it is legally binding on the institute to report the matter to the Local Police

Our Directives to the Seniors:


Any interaction between freshers and seniors where the seniors are friendly, welcoming and non-aggressive is encouraged
Seniors may solicit participation in clubs and other activities by announcing promotional events at well designated times and places. However, no fresher should be forced to attend. Participation by freshers can only be voluntary
Seniors are expected to maintain self-imposed discipline and restraint. In particular, they must be careful about
Any “interaction” outside public areas
Visiting freshers’ rooms during the interaction period, or inviting freshers to their rooms
Forcing freshers to sing, dance or perform in any way under the guise of “talent search” or “interaction”
Being over-enthusiastic about making freshers participate in student activities – cultural or sports
