Additional anti-ragging guidelines for higher education institutions including the introduction of quick response systems, CCTV cameras, alarm bells and regular counselling have been issued by The University Grants Commission (UGC).
According to the circular issued, the anti-ragging measures should include identification of trouble triggers and surprise checks at hostels, student accommodation, canteens, recreational rooms, toilets, and bus stops. It has also been made compulsory for every student and parent to submit an online undertaking every academic year.
The institutions are also asked to take legal action in cases where the culprits are identified through CCTV footage, the circular states.
