Zero Tolerance for Ragging: Ensuring a Safe Environment at Vivekananda College, Thakurpukur

Vivekananda College, Thakurpukur, stands as a beacon of education, enlightenment, and ethical conduct. Within our campus, we uphold the principles of respect, dignity, and inclusivity. Central to our ethos is the unequivocal stance against ragging in any form.

Ragging, a deplorable practice, not only violates the rights of individuals but also undermines the very essence of camaraderie and mutual respect that we aim to foster among our students. We firmly believe that education thrives in an atmosphere of harmony and trust, devoid of fear or coercion.

At Vivekananda College, we have implemented stringent measures to combat ragging effectively:

Awareness Programs: Regular workshops, seminars, and orientation sessions are conducted to educate students about the perils of ragging and its legal repercussions. Through these initiatives, we aim to instill a sense of responsibility and empathy among our student body.

Zero-Tolerance Policy: Any instance of ragging, no matter how trivial it may seem, is met with zero tolerance. Our disciplinary committee ensures swift and decisive action against the perpetrators, adhering to the guidelines set forth by the University Grants Commission (UGC) and the Supreme Court of India.

Student Support Systems: We provide multiple channels for students to seek assistance and report incidents of ragging confidentially. Our faculty members, counselors, and anti-ragging helpline are readily available to offer support and guidance to victims.

Peer Monitoring: Senior students are encouraged to serve as mentors and role models for their juniors, fostering a culture of mutual respect and mentorship. By promoting positive interactions and inclusivity, we aim to eliminate any space for ragging to thrive.

Continuous Vigilance: Our campus security personnel and administrative staff remain vigilant at all times to promptly address any signs of ragging. We encourage students to remain vigilant and report any suspicious activities to the authorities immediately.

As stakeholders in the pursuit of knowledge and enlightenment, it is incumbent upon each member of the Vivekananda College community to uphold the values of integrity, compassion, and mutual respect. Together, let us ensure that our campus remains a safe haven for learning, free from the shadows of ragging.

In the spirit of Swami Vivekananda's vision of education as a means of empowerment and upliftment, let us stand united against ragging, reaffirming our commitment to creating a nurturing and inclusive environment for all.
