Anti-Ragging Guideline

‘Right Philosophy’, ‘Right Knowledge’ and ‘Right Conduct’ are the three ethos constituting the core values at Raffles University, Neemrana. In its objective to be an ultimate destination for world-class education, the University will prepare and train professionals in the modern era of 21st century with a sense of strong ethical consideration, sound judgment and work culture in global environment. University believes in social integration in the campus. ‘Ragging’ is considered as a social menace, jinx and an abuse of human rights in the academic environment of the University. Ragging is a criminal offense too and lowers the standards of education. Hence the University adopts a comprehensive ‘Anti-Ragging Policy’ with regard to its concerted efforts to overcome the problem and make the campus absolutely ragging free.

The ‘Anti-Ragging Policy’ adopted by the Raffles University, Neemrana takes care of preventive, procedural and punitive aspects of ragging based on the guidelines provided by Hon’ble Supreme Court of India, recommendations of the Raghavan Committee, instructions/guidelines issued by the University Grants Commission, Ministry of Human Resource Development (Government of India), State Government and other regulatory authorities such as the AICTE, MCI, DCI, etc. in this area.

In deference of the preamble of Anti-Ragging Policy, the University encourages socialization of fresher students in the academic environment of the University. At the same time, it discourages and prevents any negative act, e.g., devious or diabolic or brutal or thwarted or any other untoward action or behavior on the part of senior students which goes against the basic philosophy of socio- academic integration. The ‘anti-ragging policy’ adopted by the University therefore is aimed at:

• Creating, developing and nourishing conducive academic environment within the student community by their social integration.
• Generating and maintaining a high level of confidence within new entrants and their parents/guardians that new entrants to the university are not going to be harassed and intimidated and will get all support and learning congenial environment at the campus.
• Keeping in place an integrated system to discourage and prevent any negative acts like alcoholism, drugs abuse and ragging in what so ever be the manner by the seniors, which disrupts socio-academic integration of new entrants.
• Prescribing deterrent measures for any violation of the “Anti-Ragging Policy” by way of disciplinary action.
