The programme aims to sensitize UG and PG students, Teaching and Non teaching faculty members about the ethical, psychological, and legal implications of ragging. It also serves to promote healthy peer relationships, mutual respect, and a culture of support among students. Ragging, in any form, is not only a violation of institutional discipline but also a criminal offense under law.
