SHREE VIDYADHIRAJA COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCE
Shree Vidyadhiraja College maintains a ZERO TOLERANCE policy towards ragging. Any form of ragging is strictly prohibited and will result in severe disciplinary action including expulsion from the college and legal proceedings.
As per the UGC guidelines, our institution has constituted an Anti-Ragging Committee for the prevention of incidents of ragging on campus.
Ragging constitutes one or more of the following acts: any conduct that has the effect of teasing, treating or handling with rudeness; any act that causes or is likely to cause physical or psychological harm; asking students to do acts that have the effect of causing or generating a sense of shame; any act of financial extortion; any act of physical abuse; any act that affects the mental health and self-confidence of students.
It shall be the duty of the Anti-Ragging Committee to ensure compliance with the provisions of UGC Regulations 2009 on Curbing the Menace of Ragging in Higher Educational Institutions.
The committee also will monitor and oversee the performance of the Anti-Ragging Squad in the prevention of ragging in the institution.
