Ragging though a universal phenomenon, it often takes a malignant form wherein the juniors and new students may be subjected to physiological or physical discomfort or harassment. To prevent and deter such incidents in higher educational institutions, the Government of India has taken a serious view on the cases of ragging. The AICTE, UGC and PCI and statutory bodies implement the provisions.
               

The following members of the college are being appointed to form the anti-ragging committee for the year 2018-19. Besides looking after general discipline, the committee will supervise all anti-ragging measures.

   
Sri M. Padma Raju from management side, and the Principal and Director will be ex-officio members of committee.
The immediate priority of the committee is to arrange teams of staff members to travel with the 1st year students on buses to and from the institution starting from 16th August 2018.  Keeping our principle of Awareness, Avoidance and Action as cardinal measures, let us all work together to stop this menace.
