Anti Ragging Policy

Ragging in any form is strictly prohibited in side and outside the college. Ragging means doing an act which causes or is likely to cause insult or annoyance of fear or apprehension or threat or intimidation or outrage of modesty or injury to a student. Ragging is a disorderly conduct by words spoken or written or by an act which has the effect of teasing, treating or handling with rudeness any other student, indulging in rowdy or undisciplined activities which cause or is likely to cause annoyance, hardship or psychological harm or to raise fear or apprehension thereof in a fresher or a junior student or asking the students to do any act or perform something which such student will not do in ordinary course and which has the effect of causing or generating a sense of shame or embarrassment so as to adversely affect the physique of psyche of a fresher or a junior student.

The application for admission into the dental college has a printed undertaking to be filled up by the candidate and the parent/guardian of the candidate and the nature of the punishment if indulged in Ragging. This undertaking is to be signed by the senior students also. To prevent Ragging, Vigilance and Anti ragging committees have been constituted with their contact phone numbers. Grievance boxes are kept in prominent places of the college. If necessary the ragging incidents are reported to the police and F.I.R would be filed. A close watch is kept on the visit of non-students/strangers to the college campus and college hostels.
