display an apathetic or insensitive attitude towards complaints of ragging, or who fail to take timely steps,
whether required under these Regulations or otherwise, to prevent an incident or incidents of ragging, then such
authority shall initiate departmental disciplinary action, in accordance with the prescribed procedure of the
institution, against such member of the faculty or staff. Provided that where such lapse is attributable to the Head
of the institution, the authority designated to appoint such Head shall take such departmental disciplinary action;
and such action shall be without prejudice to any action that may be taken under the penal laws for abetment of

2. It is the order of the Hon’ble Supreme Court that contact details of students must be collected from these
affidavits and stored electronically at a central location.
3. Until now each college collected such information. But it was not stored in any central location. But this year
the Ragging Prevention Program developed an ON LINE procedure for downloading anti ragging affidavits. As
a result college authorities do not have to collect information separately and compile it. It will save a lot of
their time and energy. How?
Step 3: On successful completion you will receive affidavits, both for Students and Parents, through E
mail.
5. 5. If you do not have an E mail address please create one before you log in. If your parents do not have an E
Mail/Mobile/ Landline Phone number please do not panic. You can give those of your friends or relatives.
There is absolutely nothing to worry. If you make a mistake while submitting your form you can start a fresh
and submit the information again. There is no problem. It is a very easy process.

Equality at Campus
The University provides a level playing field for all students in respect of entitlement and opportunity for

differently abled persons.
Education is an important instrument of social control which enriches human life materially as well as culturally.
Education at grassroots level means freedom from ignorance which leads to freedom from exploitation and
oppression. In this way, education is an important resource which must be distributed equally in terms of
opportunities as its acquisition opens up other material resources such as wealth, status and excellence. So it-is
tightly desirable to make education system inclusive and should be responsive' to the needs and constraint of the
disadvantaged social groups.

interpersonal relationships among the students coming from various social backgrounds.

exclusion as well as aspirations of the marginalized communities.

problems related to discrimination.

• To disseminate the information related to schemes and programmes for the welfare of the socially weaker
section as well as notifications/memoranda, office orders of the Government, or other related
agencies/organizations issued from time to time,
