"Ragging" means causing, inducing, compelling or forcing a student, whether by way of a practical joke or otherwise, to do
any act which detracts from human dignity or violates his / her person or exposes him / her to ridicule, or compels him /
her to forbear from doing any lawful act, by intimidating, wrongfully restraining, wrongfully confining or injuring him / her
or by using criminal force to him / her, or by holding out to him / her any threat of such intimidation, wrongful restraint,
wrongful confinement, injury or the use of criminal force.

Ragging being an evil practice, is inhuman, illegal and punishable. It violates the discipline of an educational institution and
adversely affects the standards of higher education. Ragging in educational institutions is banned by the Hon'ble Supreme
Court of India. The Hon’ble Court has issued mandatory orders to curb the menace of ragging in educational institutions. If
an applicant for admission is found to have indulged in ragging in the past or it is noticed later that he / she has indulged in
ragging, his / her admission may be refused or he / she shall be expelled from the educational institution. The punishment
may also be in other forms, such as suspension from the classes for a limited period, or fine with a public apology,
debarring from representation in events, withholding results, suspension or expulsion from hostel or mess, and the like. If
the Head of the Institution is not satisfied with these arrangements for action, a First Information Report (FIR) can be filed
without exception by the institutional authorities with the local police. The discretionary power vests solely with the
University Authorities.
We at RGNUL are committed to removing ragging in all forms. In compliance with the guidelines laid down by the Hon'ble
Apex Court of the country, RGNUL has constituted an Anti-Ragging Committee. Anti-Ragging Committee comprises four
faculty members nominated by the Vice-Chancellor.

The Anti-Ragging Committee of the University shall assist to observe the recommendations / directions issued by the
Hon'ble Supreme Court without exception, and if it is observed that there is any deviation, the Committee shall inform the
University authorities.
“Let's together curb this menace".
