Ragging, in any form, is completely prohibited both inside and outside the campus. CN College maintains a zero-tolerance approach towards such behavior, and strict disciplinary action is taken against anyone found violating this rule. The institution firmly believes that a safe, respectful, and supportive environment is essential for learning and personal growth. Hence, no leniency will be shown towards offenders.
The Supreme Court of India has categorically defined ragging as a criminal offense, and violators are liable to face legal consequences in addition to disciplinary measures imposed by the college.
Ragging includes any behavior, whether verbal, written, or physical, that causes mental or physical distress, humiliation, fear, or harm to a student. It can take various forms, including but not limited to:
Verbal abuse, threats, or taunts
Lewd or inappropriate comments or actions
Physical assault or rough handling
Harassment or intimidation
Obscene or indecent behavior
Forcing a student to participate in activities they are uncomfortable with
Acts that result in mental trauma, fear, or embarrassment
Creating an environment that threatens a student’s dignity, safety, or well-being
Any such behavior that causes annoyance, undue hardship, mental distress, psychological trauma, fear, or humiliation to freshers, junior students, or other members of the campus community falls under ragging.
Ragging can have severe adverse effects on students, including:
Emotional distress and anxiety
Loss of self-confidence
Mental trauma and depression
Academic decline and loss of focus
Fear, isolation, and social withdrawal
Physical injury or health complications
Long-term psychological scars
The harmful impact of ragging can disrupt the academic environment, affect a student’s performance, and create an atmosphere of fear and hostility.

The directives issued by the University Grants Commission (UGC)
