JAIPUR: In a bid to clear confusion between ragging and acts of indiscipline, the anti-ragging committee has handed over a copy of UGC guidelines
describing the acts comes under ragging' to the police department recently. It is often seen that in cases of violence between two student groups, the college administration denies ragging instead divert the police attention on considering a case under normal indiscipline.
"I have submitted a copy to the ASP, OP Sharma, on Wednesday. This copy will help the police department to differentiate the cases of ragging and acts of indiscipline in the college," said B M Sharma, member of anti-ragging committee, Rajasthan University.
The guideline clearly says that any conduct by a student or students even by words that has the effect of teasing, treating or handling with rudeness should be considered a ragging. Even the guidelines say act that caused shame or embarrassment or affects the mental health and self-confidence of a fresher or any other student should be considered under the purview of ragging.
Police officials said that earlier it was a very cumbersome task to identify a ragging case. "Now it will help us in initiating the action against according to the merits of the case," said a police officer. Notably, under the law the conviction in a ragging harsh then a simple conviction in a simple clash between two students groups. The committee has also held a meeting with the police to seek their appropriate support on the issue.
Despite strict guidelines of the supreme court and UGC the ragging cases have been surfacing frequently causing law and order problems. The committee is hoping that such initiative would help in putting a check on the incidents of ragging in the institutes. Source
