Anti-Ragging Mobile App @ Prakash
Javadekar launches UGC App to fight Ragging
The
App Streamlines the process of registering complaints and concerns
Union
Human Resource Development Minister Shri Prakash Javadekar today launched an
Anti-Ragging Mobile App introduced by the University Grants Commission (UGC)
here in New Delhi. Speaking on this occasion Shri Javadekar said this mobile
app will help students register complaints to counter the menace of ragging.
The
Minister said earlier one had to visit the website for registering a complaint
of ragging and our record shows that timely action was taken which in turn had
resulted in the decrease of such instances. But still this ill has to be
eliminated completely, he said.
Shri
Javadekar said as per his knowledge in campuses majority of senior students
actually help guide their juniors and properly mentor them, but in few cases
ragging happens which needs to be completely eliminated from campuses. He said
“physical or mental torture of a new student is ragging which we won’t allow,
this is unacceptable and therefore this app will become a handy tool to any
student who goes through such experience.”
The
Minister said this app will work on android system on which students can log in
and register their complaints immediately. Accordingly all concerned will be
informed immediately and action will start immediately.
He
said it is a good step for protection and will give a feeling of security to
students. The Minister categorically cautioned that those who are involved in
ragging will not be tolerated and they will not be allowed to continue their
education in that institution. At the same time they will meet severe penalty
and punishment as per the law. However the Minister expressed hope that good
senior students will act as mentors for their juniors.
