UGC Directs Strict Implementation of Anti-Ragging Rules in Higher Education
The University Grants Commission (UGC) has directed all higher education institutions to strictly implement anti-ragging regulations established in 2009. Institutions are required to strengthen preventive measures, increase vigilance in vulnerable areas like hostels, and ensure timely complaint redressal, including immediate FIR registration and disciplinary action when ragging is confirmed. The UGC emphasizes zero tolerance towards ragging and mandates awareness programs, protection for complainants, and the display of a 24x7 anti-ragging helpline.
