ANTI-RAGGING CELL

About the Cell:

INTRODUCTION

Sagar Mahavidyalaya ensures a completely ragging free environment in the college campus and hostel premises. Our College believes in an easeful space, where our new students unhesitatingly participate in various activities including teaching-learning with the existing students. The college assures that any activity – be it verbal or written, physical or psychological – by any student/a group of students causing damage to the other student(s) is strictly prohibited. Sagar Mahavidyalaya Anti-Ragging Cell monitors such cases minutely and informs the authority for appropriate action. The Cell, moreover, looks after that there will be no such incident of ragging in the campus.
The UGC had recommended that the Universities/Colleges/ Institutes must have a committee and a separate cell to deal with issues of Anti ragging violence to evaluate, assist and support Higher Educational institutes to meet certain requirements which will be made mandatory in order to give effect to a policy of zero tolerance of anti-ragging violence. In compliance with the letter from UGC from time to time, Anti-Ragging Cell of Sagar Mahavidyalaya has been constituted.
