ANTI-RAGGING POLICY
'Ragging' means the doing of any act which causes, or is likely to cause any physical, psychological or physiological harm of apprehension or shame or embarrassment to a student
And includes -
- Teasing or abusing of playing Practical joke on, or causing hurt to any student.
- Asking any student to do any act, or perform any thing, which he/she would not, in the ordinary course, be willing to do or perform.
Ragging is different from other crimes because the motive is solely to get perverse pleasure. Ragging is also different from other crimes as it is actively promoted by certain sections of the society.
Following types of abuses and activities will be termed as Ragging
Physical abuse…
for example, forcing to eat, drink or smoke, forcing to dress or undress.
Verbal abuse…
for example swear words and phrases, direct or indirect derogatory references to the person’s appearance, attire, religion, caste, family or chosen field of study.
Forced activity… for example,
- Chores for seniors e.g. copying notes, cleaning rooms, etc.
- Missing classes. Not being allowed to study.
- Staying awake late or getting up at unreasonable times.
- Singing or dancing or performing in any other way.
- Using foul language or shouting or cheering loudly.

- Restricting access to parts of the hostel e.g. common room.

Conversational mind-games

Observation & Directives of the Supreme Court
The Supreme Court of India has observed that enrollment in academic pursuits or a campus life should not immunize any adult citizen from the penal provisions of the laws of the land.
According to the directions of the Supreme Court if any instance of ragging is brought to the notice of the administration or the faculty, it is legally binding on us to report the matter to the Local Police. See https://rcm.ac/ for more details.
Any incident of ragging at RCM Bhubaneswar may be reported to our Anti-ragging Toll Free Helpline: +91 90900 80801.
Our Directives to the Seniors
- Any interaction between freshers and seniors where the seniors are friendly, welcoming and non-aggressive is encouraged.
- Seniors may solicit participation in clubs and other activities by announcing promotional events at well designated times and places. However, no fresher should be forced to attend. Participation by freshers can only be voluntary.
- Seniors are expected to maintain self-imposed discipline and restraint. In particular, they must be careful about:
- Any “interaction” outside public areas.
- Visiting freshers’ rooms during the interaction period, or inviting freshers to their rooms.
- Forcing freshers to sing, dance or perform in any way under the guise of “talent search” or “interaction”.
- Being over-enthusiastic about making freshers participate in student activities – cultural or sports.
