Anti-Ragging Awareness Week

Aug 17, 2024

The Anti-Ragging Committee of NUCSER organized several activities from 12th to 17th August 2024 as part of the anti-ragging week to educate students about the harmful effects of ragging and promoting a ragging-free campus culture. The week commenced with a poster-making competition on August 12th, coinciding with Anti-Ragging Day. Held in the seminar hall, the competition focused on the theme “Ragging: A Crime, not a Tradition,” highlighting the gravity of ragging and challenging its perception as a harmless tradition. 18 teams participated enthusiastically, producing meaningful posters against ragging. All posters were displayed on the notice boards to promote the anti-ragging message.

During the PG orientation at NUCSER on 16th August, students were acquainted with the anti-ragging policies and the legal consequences of engaging in ragging. They were also encouraged to report any instances of ragging and contribute to a safe and inclusive academic environment. Online affidavits filled by the students were verified. The final day of the awareness week, 17th August, featured 250 students & faculty participating in the anti-ragging awareness march. Students conveyed a powerful message against ragging through a street play, vividly portraying its emotional & physical trauma. Senior students led the initiative, using the play to highlight the dangers & social consequences of ragging, ensuring freshers felt secure. The performance was well-received, with the audience praising its realistic depiction and emphasizing the importance of creating a safe and empathetic academic environment.
