With the beginning of new academic session come the anti-ragging measures. As the University Grants Commission (UGC) has set up a helpline for the victims of this menace, the Punjab government too issued set of instructions to the authorities concerned to rein in the scourge of ragging in educational institutions.
As the help is just a call away for the victims of ragging, they can dial a toll free number — 1800-180-5522 — to register their complaints.
Apart from this, they can just visit the website — www.antiragging.in — to register their complaint or write to Syrex Infoservices India Private limited, J-1, Udyog Nagar, near DD Motors, Rohtak Road, Peera Garhi, New Delhi-110041.
Punjab Government on Monday directed the education department, private institutes and universities to take strict action against those found indulged in ragging.
“Punjab Government is committed to eradicate the scourge of ragging from the universities, colleges, and technical educational institutes,” said a government spokesperson. Spokesperson said that it has also made mandatory for the educational institutes to depute a nodal person, to whom the victims could contact for help.
