The University Grants Commission (UGC) has issued a circular instructing higher educational institutions (HEIs) to implement strict anti-ragging measures on campus. The UGC emphasised that ragging is a criminal offence and has introduced regulations to prevent and eliminate it from institutions. The circular also warned that any violation of these rules will be taken seriously. If an institution fails to take proper steps to stop ragging, enforce the rules, or punish those involved in ragging, it will face action from the UGC. The regulations can be accessed on the UGC websites www.ugc.gov.in and www.antiragging.in.

“In pursuance of the Judgment of the Hon’ble Supreme Court of India dated 08.05.2009 in Civil Appeal No. 887/2009, to exercise the powers conferred by clause (g) of sub-section (1) of section 26 of the University Grants Commission Act, 1956, the UGC notified “Regulations on Curbing the Menace of Ragging in Higher Educational Institutions, 2009″. The Regulations are available on the UGC website www.ugc.gov.in & www.antiragging.in,” the UGC said in a notice.
