The Anti-Ragging Committee of the Institute of Commerce organized a series of events as part of the Anti-Ragging Week. These events aimed to raise awareness and foster insightful discussions on pressing concerns regarding ragging in educational institutions.
The Anti-Ragging Committee of the Institute of Commerce recently organized a poster-making competition on theme: Respect and Dignity for all. This raised awareness about the serious issue of ragging. The event saw enthusiastic participation from students across various disciplines, who expressed their creativity and understanding of the topic through impactful artwork. The posters vividly depicted the harmful effects of ragging and promoted a message of unity, respect, and a ragging-free campus. We also provided participation certificates to all the students. The competition not only served as a platform for students to showcase their artistic talents but also reinforced the college’s commitment.
The Anti-Ragging Committee conducted visits to every class within the institute. During these visits, we provided guidance on the serious implications of ragging and emphasized that students can approach us with any complaints or concerns at any time. We also clearly explained the definition of ragging as outlined by the University Grants Commission (UGC) to ensure everyone understood what constitutes this behavior. Furthermore, we administered an anti-ragging pledge, encouraging all students to commit to fostering a safe and respectful environment for their peers.
At the Institute of Commerce, Nirma University, a significant step was taken to fortify the commitment towards eradicating the menace of ragging from its campus. The Anti-Ragging Committee recently organized an audio-visual presentation that witnessed participation from approximately 180 students. This initiative showcased various Anti-Ragging Television Commercials (TVCs), short films, and documentary movies available on the UGC websites (www.ugc.ac.in & www.antiragging.in). These potent audio-visual aids served as an instrumental medium to intensify awareness about the severe ramifications of ragging, shedding light on its negative consequences.
The primary objective behind such an endeavor was to accentuate the university’s dedication to fostering a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment for every individual. It is the firm belief of the institution that proactive anti-ragging measures resonate deeply with the core values of respect, integrity, and inclusivity. By ensuring such initiatives, the university is not just taking a stand against ragging but also working towards cultivating a conducive academic atmosphere, enhancing the holistic experience of its students.
The Anti-Ragging Committee of the Institute of Commerce showcased their commitment to a ragging-free environment by organizing a poignant theatre play on anti-ragging awareness. Featuring the talents of student participants, the performance vividly highlighted the emotional and psychological repercussions of ragging. Their enactment was not merely a form of art but a powerful statement, emphasizing the importance of empathy and respect in educational institutions. Around 90 students, forming the audience, were deeply impacted by this presentation, reflecting on the significant message it conveyed.
To recognize the dedication and efforts of the performers, the committee awarded certificates of participation to each of the participants. This gesture was a testament to the institution’s appreciation of their commitment and an encouragement for more students to actively partake in such value-driven initiatives in the future. The event stands as a clear indication of the Institute of Commerce’s unwavering dedication to fostering a safe, inclusive, and nurturing academic atmosphere.
