Anti Ragging Cell at Desh Bhagat University
The university community is aware of the fact that prevention and prohibition of ragging in
institutions imparting higher education in the country is a great concern of all authorities
including the law enforcing agencies. Regulations have been framed by various apex bodies of
higher education in the country in order to root out ragging in all its forms in the Universities and
its affiliated colleges across the country. In this context, Desh Bhagat University has a
University-wide Anti-Ragging Committee headed by the Registrar. A student or parent can also
write to the Committee Head in case of any difficulty.
Any student of Desh Bhagat University found indulging and / or abetting any form of ragging
shall be meted out with exemplary and rightly harsh punishment including debarring such
students from taking admissions in any institutions of higher learning in the country.
Depending upon the nature and gravity of the offence as established by the Anti-Ragging
Committee of the University, the possible punishments for those found guilty of ragging at the
University level shall be any one or a combination of the following:
- Cancellation of admission
- Suspension from attending classes
- Withholding/withdrawing scholarship/fellowship and other benefits
- Debarring from appearing in any test/examination or other evaluation process
- Withholding results
- Debarring from representing the institution in any regional, national or international
meet, tournament, youth festival, etc.
- Suspension/expulsion from the hostel
- Rustication from the institution for a period as may be determined by appropriate
authority
- Expulsion from the institution and consequent debarring from admission to any other
institution of the University
- Fine of Rupees 25,000/-
- Collective punishment: when the persons committing or abetting the crime of ragging are
not identified, the institution shall resort to collective punishment as a deterrent to ensure
community pressure on the potential raggers.
As a preventive measure, all the existing students, freshers and their parents/guardians shall
submit an undertaking in the prescribed form in the beginning of the academic session itself,
failing which the concerned student will not be allowed to attend classes until he/she and his/her
parents/guardians submit the said Undertaking.
All the students of Desh Bhagat University are advised to abide by the instructions scrupulously
to ensure a healthy academic atmosphere and make it a ragging free campus.
Strict observance of the instructions and cooperation with the university in its efforts to ensure a
“Ragging Free Desh Bhagat University” is highly solicited.
