UGC Chairman Emphasizes Strict Implementation of Anti-Ragging Measures

 


University Grants Commission (UGC) Chairman M Jagadesh Kumar has highlighted the need for stricter implementation of anti-ragging regulations in higher education institutions. His remarks came in response to rising concerns about ragging-related incidents in colleges and universities across the country.

Speaking at a national seminar on student safety, Kumar stressed that weak enforcement of existing rules allows offenders to evade consequences. He pointed out that despite clear guidelines from the UGC, many institutions fail to monitor ragging activities effectively.

Several student groups have reported cases of mental and physical harassment, leading to severe consequences, including suicides in extreme cases. Parents and student organizations have urged universities to adopt stronger preventive measures such as CCTV surveillance, anonymous complaint mechanisms, and immediate action against perpetrators.

The UGC has warned colleges that failure to implement strict anti-ragging policies could lead to penalties, including withdrawal of affiliation. The commission has also launched a new helpline and mobile application for students to report incidents without fear of retaliation.

With increasing pressure from student bodies and civil rights organizations, universities are expected to tighten their monitoring systems and ensure a safe and inclusive learning environment.
