Anti Ragging

The Government of Karnataka has made ragging a cognizable offence punishable with imprisonment and holds the Principal responsible for making the College ragging-free. VTU is keeping a strict vigil to prevent any sort of ragging. Under the direction of the Supreme Court of India, authorities have asked colleges to take necessary measures to prevent ragging. Students are severely warned that:

• Ragging of any kind is strictly prohibited by law inside the campus and outside.
• Offenders will be dismissed from the College and the hostel, and reported to the police.
• Photographs of offenders will not only be displayed on the notice board, but also published in newspapers.
• Offenders cannot appear for university examinations.
• Names of offenders will be sent to VTU, which will record the fact in the marks card.

Please do not be misguided. There is no such things as friendly ragging or mild ragging. All forms of ragging are de-humanizing and go against the core of the value system which our students must develop. The College will not take a lenient view of any offence of ragging.

The College has formed an ANTI-RAGGING FLYING SQUAD with Mr Franco Aldrin Menezes as the coordinator. Apart from senior teachers and senior students as members, media persons and the police authorities are represented in the committee. Freshers are advised to make a note of their names (it is good to memorize at least a few telephone numbers) given below. Please do not hesitate to approach them. They will keep your names confidential.

Any student who becomes a victim of ragging of any kind must report to the anti-ragging committee without any fear and the college will take strict action.
