Promoting Respect & Safety: Anti-Ragging Awareness Session at Dikshaarambh 2025
As part of the Orientation Program Dikshaarambh for the academic year 2025–26, the School of Science & Technology (SST), Swami Rama Himalayan University, organized an Anti-Ragging Awareness Session for first-year students on 21st August 2025 at Visvesvaraya Auditorium. The session was conducted by Dr. Pooja Baloni, Assistant Professor & Member Secretary, Anti-Ragging Committee (SST).
Addressing more than 280 students from BCA, MCA, B.Tech, and B.Sc. (Data Science), Dr. Baloni sensitized the freshers about the menace of ragging and the university’s strong stance of zero tolerance towards it. She elaborated on the legal, academic, and psychological consequences of ragging and emphasized that any violation would invite strict disciplinary action under the Anti-Ragging Act and UGC regulations.
The session highlighted key aspects such as university rules and disciplinary measures, reporting and grievance redressal mechanisms, and the roles of the Anti-Ragging Committee in ensuring a safe learning environment. Students were encouraged to uphold the values of mutual respect, inclusiveness, and responsible behavior, and to seek immediate help from faculty or committee members in case of any grievances.
Through interactive discussions, the session helped students realize their collective responsibility in maintaining a campus culture based on trust, safety, and cooperation. The initiative not only built awareness about anti-ragging laws and mechanisms but also instilled in students a sense of belonging and accountability towards creating a safe and inclusive university environment.
The awareness session served as an important step in ensuring that every fresher begins their journey at SRHU with confidence, respect, and a commitment to uphold the university’s values of discipline and harmony.
