The University Grants Commission (UGC) has finally set up a 24 hour toll-free helpline for dealing with ragging. If you are abused or ragged you can call 18001805522 or send an email to helpline@antiragging.net.Immediate action will be taken within fifteen minutes by alerting appropriate authorities, be it the head of the educational institution, the district collector or the police. The monitoring of progress of follow-up activities will also included.
The anti-ragging guidelines issued by UGC defines ragging in a broader way to consider all activities that constitute ragging. They are applicable to all educational institutions both in government and public sectors including transport facilities. The culprits may be 'rusticated' for four sessions or fined up to 2.5 lakhs.
The Supreme Court had recommended setting up of such a helpline only in May 2009.
