Union Human Resource Development Minister Shri Prakash Javadekar launched an Anti-Ragging Mobile App introduced by the University Grants Commission (UGC) here in New Delhi.
The mobile app will help students register complaints to counter the menace of ragging.
Earlier one had to visit the website for registering a complaint of ragging and the record shows that timely action was taken which in turn had resulted in the decrease of such instances.
But still this ill has to be eliminated completely.
A majority of senior students actually help guide their juniors and properly mentor them, but in few cases ragging happens which needs to be completely eliminated from campuses.
This app will work on android system on which students can log in and register their complaints immediately. Accordingly all concerned will be informed immediately and action will start immediately.
It is a good step for protection and will give a feeling of security to students.
Actions of those involved in ragging will not be tolerated and they will not be allowed to continue their education in that institution.
They will also meet severe penalty and punishment as per the law.
