Statutory Information
Anti Ragging Measures
At Neelima Institute of Medical Sciences , we maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards ragging and are committed to providing a safe and inclusive environment for all students. Ragging, in any form, is strictly prohibited, and we have implemented robust measures to prevent and address any instances of ragging within our institution.
Purpose
The purpose of our Anti-Ragging Measures is to create awareness, promote a healthy campus culture, and ensure the physical and emotional well-being of our students. We strive to cultivate an atmosphere of respect, mutual understanding, and academic excellence.
Preventive Measures
To prevent ragging and create a safe learning environment, we have implemented several preventive measures, including:
Orientation Programs
We conduct comprehensive orientation programs for new students, both at the college and departmental levels. These programs emphasize our zero-tolerance policy towards ragging, the consequences of engaging in such activities, and the channels available for reporting incidents.
Awareness Campaigns
We organize regular awareness campaigns, workshops, and seminars to educate students, faculty, and staff about the harmful effects of ragging. These initiatives highlight the importance of maintaining a supportive and inclusive campus atmosphere.
Anti-Ragging Committees
We have established Anti-Ragging Committees consisting of faculty members, administrative staff, and student representatives. These committees actively monitor the campus, conduct surprise inspections, and promote a safe environment for all students.
Reporting and Grievance Redressal
We provide a confidential and efficient reporting mechanism for students to report any incidents of ragging. Our grievance redressal process ensures that complaints are promptly addressed and appropriate action is taken. Here’s how it works:
Dedicated Helpline Numbers
We have dedicated helpline numbers and email addresses where students can report incidents of ragging. These contact details are easily accessible on notice boards, our website, and other prominent locations within the college.
Anonymous Reporting
We understand the importance of anonymity when reporting ragging incidents. Students can choose to report anonymously, and their identity will be kept strictly confidential during the investigation process.
Swift Action
Upon receiving a complaint, the Anti-Ragging Committee initiates a thorough investigation. The committee ensures a fair and unbiased inquiry, protecting the rights of both the complainant and the accused.
Disciplinary Actions
If any student is found guilty of ragging, strict disciplinary actions are taken, ranging from warnings and fines to suspension or expulsion, depending on the severity of the offense. Legal actions may also be pursued if required.
Reporting and Grievance Redressal
We understand that survivors of ragging may require support and counseling to overcome the experience. We provide counseling services to students who have been affected by ragging, ensuring their well-being and assisting in their emotional recovery.
