Further the guidelines have been modified by UGC from time to time.

The Regulation made provisions for constitution of Anti-Ragging Cell, Anti-Ragging Squad, setting up of Anti-Ragging Cell and adequate publicity for these measures through various media platforms in the campus.

  2. The complete address and contact details of Nodal Officer related to Anti-ragging Committee should be updated in the website of the Institution.
