Anti Ragging Policy

Introduction:The University Grants Commission (UGC) promulgated the Regulations on Curbing the Menace of Ragging in Higher Educational Institutions in 2009. These regulations were issued with the explicit objective of prohibiting, preventing, and eliminating ragging, thereby ensuring a safe and supportive academic environment for students in Higher Educational Institutions (HEIs) across India. In alignment with this national mandate, the Modern Group of Institutes, Birkalan, has instituted a comprehensive policy that outlines the specific measures designed to maintain a ragging-free campus.

Objective of the Anti-Ragging Policy :

The primary objectives of this Anti-Ragging Policy are to:

• Prohibit any form of ragging within the institution’s premises and during all institutional activities, including both online and offline environments.
• Establish a comprehensive framework of strict deterrents and a transparent, effective complaint redressal mechanism to address ragging incidents.
• Promote widespread awareness among the student community regarding the severity and consequences of ragging.

Policy on Curbing Ragging

Modern Group of Institutions has a strict zero-tolerance policy towards ragging, ensuring that no act, regardless of its severity, goes unnoticed. The institution is committed to maintaining a campus free from ragging through a comprehensive set of measures:

• Disciplinary Action: Any student found guilty of ragging will face immediate disciplinary action.
• Awareness and Orientation:The institution will hold regular orientation sessions for new students and awareness programs for senior students to educate them on the definition and consequences of ragging.
• Confidential Reporting:A strict and confidential system for reporting ragging incidents will be maintained.
• Anti-Ragging Committee: This committee will meet every semester to oversee the policy's implementation, handle complaints, conduct transparent investigations, and enforce disciplinary actions.
• Anti-Ragging Squad: A squad composed of teachers and students will monitor the campus to ensure the policy's enforcement. This squad will also serve as the initial point of contact for students who want to report an incident.
• Prominent Displays: Anti-ragging posters and the UGC Anti-Ragging Regulations, 2009, will be prominently displayed throughout the campus and on the institutional website.
• Mandatory Undertaking: All students and their guardians must sign an online undertaking, as per UGC guidelines, to affirm their commitment to maintaining a ragging-free campus.
