GRIEVANCE AND ANTI- RAGGING CELL

In compliance with the UGC guidelines, our college has set up an Anti-Ragging Committee in 1980. The functions of the committee are as follows:

 

  • Looking into the complaints, if any, lodged by the students about the incidents of ragging in the college campus.
  • Looking after the overall behaviour of the students inside the college campus during college hours.
  • Making students aware of the social injustice and evil.

 

Anti-ragging Rules:

 

  • We are guided by the Supreme Court and UGC's advocated guidelines for curbing the menace of ragging in higher educational institutions (Regulation 2013).
  • Students are required to adhere to the anti-ragging rules that are in force on campus.
  • Indulging in or abetment of ragging is a punishable offense and may lead to expulsion from the college.
