Indore: Earlier it was sought but was not mandatory. But from this academic session, it’s compulsory for students to give in writing that they will not indulge in act of ragging. The University Grants Commission (UGC) has sent a copy of a gazette notification on “Regulation for Curbing Menace of Ragging in Higher Educational Institutions (second amendment) 2013” published in December last year.
As per the amendment, the students seeking admission in institutes need to fill an affidavit fill promising not to participate or promote ragging.Their admissions will be confirmed only after the students fill the affidavit. The UGC has released two formats of the affidavit one is meant for the students and another for their parents. Parents too need to give in writing that the institute will be free to take action against their ward if he/she was found indulge in ragging incidents.
The educational institutes have been taking these affidavits from the students at the time of admission since 2009 when the regulation first came but it was not a compulsion at that time. Not it is. The DAVV will soon circulate copy of the amended version of the regulation to the colleges.
