PART-I
 On the 16th of July,2009,DelhiUniversity and Other Universities are reopening after summer break and also new session begins.In Delhi University ,the authorities, like the Proctor,DSW Offices and especially DUSU-have been taking several measures to fight against the ragging menace. More than 20 CCTVs are installed in different points of both the campuses. Anti ragging police squads have been deployed including women police squads in Delhi University’s North and South Campuses.
In the Universities and Colleges, commencement of new session appears to be both delighting at the same time very panick-stricken. Not Only in Delhi,across the country ‘ragging’ emerges as a great social menace and mostly dirty face of ragging is seen around educational institutions at the time of new session .Thousands of freshers join Universities, especially in Delhi for making a bright career. Most of the students used to come from out side Delhi and from various States.Since,The fresh students are normally not aware of the social structures of the metro cities like Delhi,Mumbai,Bangalore , Chennai,Kolkata ,They easily become prey at the hands of dirty raggers or anti social elements. In the name of ragging-some anti socials take advantages and rag new students (specially girls).Girls coming to Delhi from North-East States and Foreign students from out side countries, become soft targets for either to the senior class mates or outsider-anti social goons .In the guise of students,these goons enter in to campus and rough up innocent boys or girls. Some times, ragging becomes very much unhealthy and criminalized. The Central Govt.,University grants commission and above all Supreme Court have passed anti-ragging measures .All most all the Universities and Colleges have released statutory regulations regarding prohibitions against ‘Ragging’.& Gender Sensitization

Part – II (Supreme Court orders and etc)
 Ragging on any student is a criminal offence and stringent measures have to be taken for curbing the menace of ragging in Universities and in any kind of educational Institutions. Universities in Delhi and institutions across the country, have become very much conscious of its responsibilities in this regard and students and parents need not harbor undue apprehensions, and should report any incidence immediately to the Institution Authorities, and stringent punishment will be meted out to the culprit. The Statutory warning displayed below is also displayed in the Colleges under instructions from the University Grants Commission (UGC).It may be mentioned that the U.P Technical University and the Hon'ble Supreme Court of India; vide UGC-Letter No.F-1-8/2006(CPP-II), Dated 4th.March, 2008, the UPTU letter No.UPTU/RO/AK/2008/34489-34792/2004 passed in the matter of University of Kerala v/s Council of Principals etc,which is reproduced below(Being mandatory statutory warning):-
If any incident of ragging comes to the notice of the authority, the concerned students shall be given liberty to explain and if his explanation is not found satisfactory, the authority would expel him from the Institution."
For last few years, Ragging in a dirty and savegeous manner have been making the whole arena of educational institutions panicky, be it in normal colleges or in Engineering, Medical, Business Hubs, raggers keep their soft targets fearful. In many a cities in India, Ragging-centric hudlums used to ransack the purity of Educational Institutions. In many a places ,innocent boys even commit suicide out of intense ragging.
Ragging is not bad practice always:
Ragging is not at all bad tradition; the seniors in the concerned institutions welcome their freshers with harmless mockeries and jokes. Its a kind of freshers' welcome.Students in the capital-Delhi feel ragging up to a limit is okay.Banking on the literal meaning of te word ‘ragging’-teae,make fun or and rib-they say it gives an opportunity to seniors and freshers to know each other in an amusing way.Tey have even coined a term’healthy ragging’.,which ,they argue is a good way to get informally introduced to seniors,who play an important role in shepherding the freshers. But, Now a days ,The administrations even have been started taking stock of the situation. Even, in many a cases, police are engaged to stop atrocities, created by the Dirty buddies. Supreme Court has passed clear verdict prohibiting Ragging of any manner.
So,the freshers are asked to be very much conscious about this 'ragging' menace. And seniors are requested to look in this matter so that this type of menace is not happened to their Junior Brothers and sisters. Hope this new session will be a 'No Ragging Year.'

of ragging in educational institutions. The Regulations are likely to be finalized in first

other statutory bodies such as AICTE, MCI, DCI, NCI, NCTE, PCI etc. The Commission
would convene a meeting of these bodies alongwith the Chairmen of State Councils of
Higher Education and State Education Secretaries as these bodies / organizations have to
